Larry, I meant to say a hangar for the coupe at an airport and a separate residence elsewhere. We've been watching HGTV and are surprised at the low cost of houses in FL. compared to PA. I pay $135/month for a 6 plane community hangar at a grass airstrip. There is typically no flying from Dec to April unless it's unusually dry. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 3:37:50 PM Subject: Re: [ercoupe-flyin] florida retirement? I keep my plane a VNC my hanger is about 1/2 mile from the gulf, I have it sprayed with corrosion proofing at each annual, my mechanic says this will protect the plane. Many planes have been here for 10 - 15 years with no parts falling off yet.I keep my plane in a hanger, I would not let it stay outside. There are 2 coupes here at VNC one is polished.We can fly year around, no snow to worry about. There will be no hanger homes for 150 here, sorry. If you fly into Vnc email or call 941-323-7722 Larry Mayes In a message dated 8/20/2010 3:08:49 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Retirement? What? You two are just kids! Seriously, I'd be fearful of corrosion caused by salt in the air and in the rain in Florida. Every time I return from Sun & Fun I find salt deposits on my plane and rust on the steel bolt heads. That never happens here in Wisconsin.

Of course, a nice grass airstrip in the vicinity would be nice too. We don't know all the pros and cons of such a move, but let's start with a hangared home for the Ercoupe first and a house budget of $150,000. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
