[COUPERS-FLYIN] Re: [COUPERS-TECH] 415-C for sale

[dr . beeman]

You're going through what the rest of us inevitably will face sooner or later, and you're doing it with a grace and humility that I hope I can measure up to when I see my flying days are nearing the end.

 

Thank you from my heart for offering your ship to the fraternity of Ercoupe owners first before setting it upon the general market. You're a mark to shoot for, Dave. Thanks again.

My friends

 

I regret that I must offer up my darlin’ Ercoupe 415-C (1946 model) to be sold.  (Her name is Frolic.)

 

My health has taken a couple more serious hits, making recovery in the near future seem rather remote.  I got another zap only today.  Now, just trying to make a living and heal my body loads me to the max.  No money or time for flying.  I am over my gross weight, rhetorically speaking.

 

A fair amount of maintenance and improvement have been invested in the aircraft, but she is, as of last month, out of annual.  The local A&P feels she will need new wing covers before she can get back to inspection worthy status.  Everything else about her should be fine.  She has had 4 solid months of shop work done on her, this year.

 

I am asking no more than I have invested in her ($15.5K.).  Not a bad price.  Some think it’s a steal.

 

Details will be provided for those who ask.  She is not listed anywhere, yet, for I would rather put her in the hands of one of “we few, we happy few, we brothers.”

 

(This includes the gals, of course.  As I am sure you realized, I am merely quoting Shakespeare.)

 

It has truly been a privilege being a part of this outfit at least for a while.  A real live ‘coupe flyer with my very own bird.  It’s more than anybody really deserves.
