Well, I might as well put in my two cents worth on the issue. Although it is of concern that the price of our investment be maintained, it was my thought that we want to add to the fleet of Ercoupes that can fly under the Sports Pilot rule. It has never made sense to me that once changed to a Model D, E, or G the coupe can never be returned to the Model C standard and flown as a Sports Pilot or why if you have a PP license and are flying as a Sports Pilot, you can't do maintenance on your plane. Al, You are very correct in your estimate of how things are done by the government. I worked for them for 32 yrs and was always in trouble for saving money and putting common sense into issues.

Supply/Demand. Supply increases, price will go down. Forget about the $10,000 increase in value, it would be way less than that. Also, there are the RV-12 kits (light sport) that were just released for sale at Sun-n-Fun that are selling like hot cakes. There is also the possibility that the RV-12 might become a reasonably priced manufactured aircraft and replace the demand for our 60+ year old light sport aircraft thus driving down the price of Ercoupes even further. Be careful what you wish for.
