On the subject of safety, I write this email. I recently looked at a
C model for sale. The owner volunteered that he was an aerobatic
instructor (retired) which he taught in Citabrias. He want on to say that
while not certified, he regularly did loops, rolls and other aerobatics
maneuvers in his Coupe and it performed them well. Last night I read an
article in Aviation Safety magazine about metal. You can stress it a over
and over again without any visible evidence but every time you do it, it gets
weaker and weaker. This Ercoupe is an accident waiting to happen, in my
opinion. If that happens, it is another step in all our coffins with
regard to an AD for our Ercoupes, not just a SB (SB32). I will not share
the name or N number of this aircraft on this forum, but feel free to call me
before you purchase a C model from Utah.
