----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- After sending my previous e.mail I went to the
website to vote for the greatest aviation innovation. The Ercoupe was not
even on the list of nominees.
I sent Eclipse Aviation's PR department my feelings
of disappointment. What a shame.
The Ercoupe
2 control, Like driving a car.
First production tricycle gear
airplane
Unique wing and wing root design to make it
unspinnable.
Automatic carb heat with throttle retarded (Most
have been removed. Why?)
Some models with Trim-O-Matic aileron
trim.
Over 5000 sold.
In my book, it just doesn't get more innovative
than that.
