A friend buys wrecked Bonanzas and he's seen lots of tissue hanging off of the post lights. My Bonanza egroup lost a goodfellow in '07 that would have survived a crash had he been wearing a shoulder harness.
My initial thought is that the $ price was a smidge too high, but given that the retail on the hardware along is probably $250.00 (and who thinks that's really worth it) it isn't a bad deal. I didn't see anything about the weight increase and I sure would like to see something else about the install. I just may not agree with the positioning of the shoulder harness attach point. No, I'm not a DER but I know some that work too cheaply.

I haven't found the "right" Ercoupe to buy yet; but when I do get one I'll check with Skyport before buying this one just to support Skyport. He has said in the past he is working on one at about this price....I don't know his tentative schedule.
