I have the same problem and wonder if you can remove the foot brake? I rarely use the foot brake and most times I do need the brake I use the hand brake. My instructor says using the brake all the time just wears them out and with proper planning, you shouldn't,t have to brake. It saves tires and break wear so they will work well when you need them. We cleared out those pesky rudder pedals and now I would like to clear out the foot brake as well.

I'm considering buying an Ercoupe and I read your posts with interest. I had my first chance to sit in one yesterday and try it on my 6'2", 200 pounds for the first time. I found that headroom was adequate and shoulder room was cozy, but ok. However, I had trouble finding a place for my size 14 shoes. If I put my right foot in front of the brake pedal, my knee blocked the dashboard controls. If I put it to the right of the steering pole that emerges from the floor, there was no room for the passenger's feet. The only place that felt like it would nearly work and be somewhat comfortable for any time, was above the brake pedal. Are there any tricks that I missed, or is the Ercoupe just not friendly for someone my size? I'll appreciate your thoughts. Thank you. ________________________________________________________________________ Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail -- 2 GB of storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection.
