Some points:
* ERCO sales thought they had a "gimmick" in
two-control, so most `coupes were built that way.
* Fred Weick didn't agree, but went along with
it. The `coupe is engineered so peddles bolt in and
out.
* Fred's design for Piper, the Cherokee, had a
separate yaw control. It seems to have sold better.
* "Stick and Rudder" agrees with marketing.
The author points out that the Wright Brothers linked the rudder and roll
control.

Why would anyone want to put rudder pedal's in an ercoupe? With the limited rudder travel, it can't make much difference in control and you could, I guess, spin the plane if you cross up your controls? It must be, some pilots have to feel they are doing something other people cannot do.
Like my instructor said, "It drive s like a car" (and I'm not sure that was a compliment, but it is a fact).
