Sounds like a nice aircraft. Last year the CFI that I hired to instruct me had never seen an Ercoupe. I informed him about the unique characteristics of the Coupe and I let him fly it for an hour or so as I rode along. Don't know if that was legal, but my insurance policy covered CFI as long as I was in the aircraft, if my memory serves me correct. The next day he gave me my first flight lesson, and what a great experience. My aircraft is pictured on Dave's Ercoupe Page, Midwest Region. I just switched my insurance from Avemco to HCC Aviation, Inc. in Dallas, TX. for a $300 savings. Full coverage with $17,000 valuation and $500K limit was $560 and for $1,000K was $605. Both have medical at $3K and $6K(each person and each occurrence, respectively). Call Renee at Andrews Aviation Ins. Services, Inc. 1-888-523-7868 in Griffin, GA. I received the insurance info from Grover Barfield, Columbus, GA. last April 6 via the coupers mailing list. THANKS GROVER! Hope this helps. Enjoy the Coupe Experience.
