If you like old articles the august, 1946 issue of Flying magazine has a great article on the Ercoupe with a cutaway drawing that is real neat. Anyone that wants to see it I could scan it and E-mail it to you which brings me to a question for the group. The last paragraph says and I quote " Erco has a twin engined five place two control plane in the works now." Has anyoine ever heard this before and what happened to it and how far along did they get???? inquiring minds want to know?? Ron Miller N?????? STS Santa Rosa, CA
