(According to the FAA's 1979 study of 33 aircraft, rates based on each 100,000 flying hours.) The Overall Accident rate (and rank among the 33) finds Ercoupe 28.51 (7th worst). I'll attach a PDF. Not a really pretty picture. I think most of us have a decent regard for The Aviation Consumer (or did that just fall by the wayside?). Regards, Jim Brennan Balderdash!!I know of only 1 structural failure that resulted in a crash before 1985 that was not caused by intentional aerobatics and pilot error! Wayne Woollard
