Hi Joe (WRB speaking),
On another point...some myths die hard.
Stanley G. Thomas is wrong (as are all who believe that ERCO made or sold 77 "D" Models).
Yes, 77 serial numbers lie between the last "C" Model, Serial 4423, and the first "CD", Serial No. 4501.
Proper research requires one also review assigned "N" numbers.
4423 was 3798H
4424 (a "D" Model) was 3799H
4501 (the first "CD") was 3800H
ERCO did, however, make more than one "D".
Regards,
William R. Bayne

...the following paragraph found on page 80 of THE ERCOUPE by Stanley G Thomas. it is as follows;
"The CAA assigned a new Approved Type Certificate number (A-787) to the 415D. The ATC was granted on June 13, 1947. Erco soon decided that the up-elevator limitation seriously affected the landing qualities of the aircraft, and they only sold 77 of them before going on to the 415CD.
