A few folks wrote to tell me they had a 5 gallon fusilage tank they could part with. I was in Spain at the time and when I returned to Florida, hurricane Ivan was waiting for me and now I have power again. I apoligize for being unable to get back with you. I am still interested in the tanks, so please contact me at your convenience. Thank you. By the way, as I was leaving the airport in Milton Florida and I saw a banged up silver ercoupe on a flatbed with US NAVY markings, a casualty, I gather, of Hurricane Ivan. I extend my deepest sympathies to the owner. It looked like it was a very nice plane before it was damaged. -----Original Message----- From: "Ed Burkhead" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jack Catrett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Coupe-Tech" <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2004 15:55:27 -0500 Subject: [COUPERS-TECH] checking elevator travel ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- -----Original Message----- From: Jack Catrett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 1:52 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: approach and landing speeds I just re-read your reply. I realized that I don't know the elevator travel. How do your measure it? Thanks, Jack Jack, This is from pre-purchase inspection, section 4. You can find it by going to http://www.ercoupe.org <http://www.ercoupe.org/> and click on the article ?Why Buy A Coupe?. At the bottom of the fourth paragraph is a link to the pre-purchase inspection. It?s also available on my website at: http://edburkhead.com/Ercoupe/pre-purchase.html Check elevator up travel to specs using drilled hole in rudders. 415C, CD, D, E are different as is Forney, Alon, Mooney. On rudder, lay out line at right angles to leading edge of rudder from point midway between attaching bolts of center hinge, and running to rudder trailing edge. >From intersection of this line and rudder trailing edge, measure up or downward to find travel of elevator. See if it looks close for pre-purchase inspection, then get rigging re-done when you can. It'll take about eight hours or so for someone who know what he's doing to re-rig the plane, assuming you don't have to replace parts. Elevator: 415-C: up 13° down 12° (3.25" up ±.25", 2.88" down ±.5") 415-D: up 9° down 12° (2.2" up ±.25", 2.88" down ±.5") 415-E,G Forney F-, F-1A, Alon A-2, A2-A: up 20° down 10° (4.9" up, 2.5" down) M-10: up 25°-24° down 32°-36° Trim: 415-C: up ? down ? 415-D: up 0° down 60° 415-E,G Forney F-1, F-1A, Alon A-2, A2-A: up 10° down 36° M-10 up 7°-10° down 32°-36° Ed Burkhead http://edburkhead.com/ ed -at- edburkheadQQQ.com (change -at- and remove the QQQ) ========================================================================== ==== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers-tech/ ========================================================================== ==== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers-tech/
