Thanks...
I would not ever consider a differant plane, as I love it and it
works so well for me. The only reason i would consider another plane
is that i cannot carry my wheelchair, which is heavy and large. As of
now, i can't get out of the plane, except at my home aerodrome...This
is OK for now, but eventually i'd like to go and get out and have a
meal, etc at other sites.

No , you are NOT asking too many questions.
As there are no dumb questions...
As for your PP certificate, even when your certification will be
limited, asterisked so to say, you seem to be limited to certain
airplanes anyway. I assume that if you switch over to a different
airplane in the future, the costs for revalidating your license
will be a small factor in that transition.
Then as the saying goes, ones an Ercouper, always an Ercouper...
I can't even imagine to give up my Ercoupe. Occasionally I flew a
Cherokee ( for the 4 seats) and Tomahawks, I learned on, and a
Cessna 172.
I hade offers to fly other planes, but I don't even feel the urge.
The Ercoupe is perfect for all I want to do and can do with an
airplane.
Except someone pays me the expenses for the Beech 18 that I'd like
to guide around the planet. ;-)
That is a different story though.

I'm sorry, are you suggesting asking my questions regarding my PP
certificate was inappropriate? I asked too many questions??

No offense to those with opposing view, but with regard to this
and Kims recent query as to how long the list of limitations will
be when training and checking out in a coupe, I think there is
such a thing as asking too many questions.

to be unable to be performed in my Ercoupe, i.e. slips, rudder
control/practices, time under a hood, etc. I have no rudders or
instruments that would permit these and a few other tasks. Does my
PP certificate get an "asterisk"?
