Wow Ed, I didn't know we sat with royalty!  Anyway, you're right, the only way to keep costs down would be to have an Ercoupe kit we could build.  With things the way they are, the 49% would be built overseas and shipped back, much like Van does in his kits.  But alas, there are better designs but not too many more cool than a coupe. 

 

When I'm finished with mine (best guess 3 years), I'm putting teeth on it!  That'll scare those cows for sure!

When I was on the ASTM fixed wing committee, I recognized that the initial draft version I saw seemed VERY close to the Canadian microlight regulation.  When I asked about it, I was told Chris Heintz had provided the starter draft (and that he was instrumental in the Canadian regulation).

 

I hope my memory isn’t faulty on this.

 

I can’t remember if Jeremy Monnet was in the few conference call meetings I “attended” or not.

................................Chris was the leading aerodynamicist/manufacturer on the ASTM consensus standard Chris was the committee.  ..............

 

I thought that was Jeremy Monnet and SONEX...
