I am about to go to central Iowa to pick up what looks like a fairly
pristine Ercoupe, CD model. I have read about that Ercoupes exhibit
some unexpected cold weather characteristics from time to time. Anybody
have any insight on what these characteristics may be? I have heard
that ice in the fuel lines may be a problem and the engine baffling has
to be just right to avoid having a rough running engine.
I have to fly it to Florida so it will be similar to Lindberg crossing
the Atlantic, at least to me, and the first half of the trip is going
to be very cold. I'd appreciate any insight on cold weather ops.
Thanks.
