Harry this magazine you speak of, "pretty good monthly magazine, listing
advertisements, and a parts and plane sale", how do I sign up? I have
been looking for some time for a Ercoupe (415-C 1946).
Thanks,

We can't even get posts like this to the correct group, why should we be

Actually, we do fairly well. We Coupers do have a monthly newsletter,

Not bad for pilots who won't use the rudder pedals ;-)

How about a Coupe made of Molded wood Veneer? I understand there was

Possibly
a couple were even built . Anyone know anything about this?

Some of those are funny and for the common ones, it's good to be able to
look them up and recognize them.
But mostly, they're for the illiterate among us (those who can't type
more
than 50 words per minute).
There aren't many of those acronyms that I couldn't type out fully,
faster
than I can pause and think up the stupid acronym, hit the caps lock key,
type a few cryptic characters and hit caps lock off.
I've been telling people for 30 years, you're not fully literate unless
you
can both read and type. (I guess hand writing is still mandatory, too.)

The "magazine" to which he referred is the Coupe Capers, the monthly
newsletter of the Ercoupe Owners Club.
If you're not a member, you can join using this information:
http://ercoupe.org/SubscriptionForm.htm
Once you are a member, you can also get into the members-only section on
http://ercoupe.org and look at the ads in the back issues.
In the past, the previous issues were a good hunting ground for planes
that
hadn't sold when they were first advertised, often because of too high an
initial asking price. Now, unfortunately, there is enough demand for
Sport
Pilot eligible 415-C and CD models, they are selling at elevated prices.
Watch the mail lists which sometimes have first publication of a Coupe
for
sale. You might also check out the For Sale sections on
http://ercoupers.com which sometimes has planes listed.
Even better sources of advertised planes are your big regional newspaper,
Trade-A-Plane and http://barnstormers.com

OK, by popular demand, I'll add some more info on the "giant sausage"
plus a photo of it's "tiny " interior. Don
Unlike its dirigible ancestors, the Aeroscraft is not lighter than air.
Its 14 million cubic feet of helium hoist only two thirds of the craft's
weight. The rigid and surprisingly aerodynamic body-driven by huge
rearward propellers-generates enough additional lift to keep the behemoth
and its 400-ton payload aloft while cruising. During takeoff and landing,
six turbofan jet engines push the ship up or ease its descent.
?This two-football-fields-long concept airship is the brainchild of Igor
Pasternak, whose privately-funded California firm, Worldwide Aeros
Corporation, is in the early stages of developing a prototype and expects
to have one completed by 2010. Pasternak says several cruise ship
companies have expressed interest in t he project, and for good reason:
The craft would have a range of several thousand miles and, with an
estimated top speed of 174 mph, could traverse the continental U.S. in
about 18 hours. During the flight, passengers would peer at national
landmarks just 8,000 feet below or, if they weren't captivated by the
view, the cavernous interior would easily accommodate such amenities as
luxury staterooms, restaurants, even a casino.
?
To minimize noise, the aft-mounted propellers will be electric, powered
by a renewable source such as hydrogen fuel cells. A sophisticated
buoyancy-management system will serve the same purpose as trim on an
airplane, allowing for precise adjustments in flight dynamics to
compensate for outside conditions and passenger movement. The automated
system will draw outside air into compartments throughout the ship and
compress it to manage onboard weight

1. Actually if you deflate it and fold it carefully, it will fit a two
car
garage.
2. Also, since it is lighter than air, the gross weight (full of gas) is
less than 1320 pounds, therefore, it can be flown by a Sport Pilot,
provided he or she has the required hours and a CFI logbook endorsement
for lighter than air...
