All, I have now completed my dual cross countries, all night requirements, have about 5 hours solo, and am planning two solo cross countries that should meet all requirements within the next two weeks. At that point, I need only three hours of hood time and I've completed my training. Then I start planning for the check ride. I've been planning to take the check ride in a Cessna 150, since taking it in the Ercoupe means limitations on my license. What are the general thoughts of this group? Here are my thoughts about taking my check ride in the Ercoupe: Cons: 1. Restriction on rudder pedals. 2. I don't have a current compass deviation card (at least, I don't think so - I'm going to root through the plane tonight and find ALL documentation) 3. Lack of weight/balance and cruise performance charts (again, am I missing something? Are they in the POH? Are they available for a 415C with a C75?) 4. My AI is currently inoperative Pros: 1. I know the plane! 2. I can fly the plane! 3. I won't have to rent a C150 - I'm figuring about 5 hours of practice in it. I'm open to any and all advice!
