Hi Wayne: For the record, Jerry did not say that it’s OK to fly a coupe over gross, but maybe Fred did. Bill Wayne said: As far as posting a message to an open forum like this one saying that it's OK to fly a Coupe 100 pounds over gross, I just hope some novice pilot who can't tell "good control feel" from "no control feel" doesn't take that advice to the bank and auger a hole in the end of the runway. Just my opinion, but if you want to play with snakes, you go ahead and do it, but please don't tell a bunch of people with widely varying skill levels that it's OK to play with snakes. Syd said: Fred also said that he always flew his personal Ercoupe, a C model, which he kept until Bill Piper hired him, figuring a gross weight of 1400 lbs. ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
