Eat your hearts out, Coupe memorabilia collectors. Today my son presented me with page 123 out of the July 1945 "Flying" magazine - a full page advertisement for the Ercoupe - all framed and ready to hang on the hanger
wall or wherever. The ad is by Engineering and Research Corporation, Riverdale, Maryland, "Makers of gun-turrets for Navy bombers, propeller profilers, automatic punches, riveters, stretch-press, metal shrinkers and sheet metal formers." The ad extols all the good things we know about the Coupe - tri-cycle landing gear, certified spin-proof, etc. The empty weight is 725# with a 65 HP engine. My! How we have grown over the years!! My empty weight is 924# !! In those days you really could carry two, full fuel, 50# baggage in 1260# gross. Anyway, it's a nice little item, obtained from the internet, maybe from one of you?? And I thank my son, who likes my Coupe almost as much as his Grumman Tiger. Wayne N3544H
