As I recall, it is a C90. If it is a C85, I'll send you another email.

I currently have three Ercoupes, all airworthy and flying. All have
push button, light weight starters that have replaced the original pull
starter. There is an STC for this mod. The two companies that make the
starters are B&C and Sky-Tek. I have listed their websites below.
Someone else asked if I was getting out of Ercoupes and moving to
some other model. Absolutely not. In fact, I recently formed a new business,
GAD Aircraft Services LLC. One of the primary functions of this business is
the sale of Ercoupes.

Glen,
I recently bought a 415C so am not a potential buyer; but read
your description with
interest and envy. I'm especially interested in the push button
start which I have not
heard of. Can you give me any details or refer me to a site where I
can learn more
about this. I would like to add this feature at my next annual.
Hope we aren't losing you from the group and that you have
another half dozen
coupes in your hanger!

I have a "D" model Ercoupe for sale, N94682. It is still on the
FAA registry as a CD but the log books show it was converted to a "D" so that
is how I am selling it, a "D". I have been an Ercoupe owner, pilot and
enthusiast for many years and over that time learned a little bit about them.
I have learned that there are many modifications made over the years that make
the original Ercoupe, a great little plane, even better. These modifications
include:
Shoulder harness (not just seat belts),
Cleveland brakes
Circuit breakers to replace fuses
Double fork nosewheel
Spin-on oil filter
Oil quick drain adapter
Landing lights (this one has duel lights)
An alternator to replace the old generator (this one has a 60 amp
alternator)
Split elevator..same as "E" model (makes for almost no trim
adjustment from idle to full power)
Alon style exhaust (gets the muffler away from the firewall)
Push button starter (easier and light weight)
Digital flip-flop radios
This Ercoupe has all these modifications...and they were all done
legally! All the proper paperwork was done and is in the logs. Almost all of
this work was performed by our resident Ercoupe Guru and frequent contributor
to this list, Lynn Nelsen.
In addition to the above, it has:
New Vertical Speed Indicator
New Artificial Horizon,
All new "U" joint on the ailerons
New bushing on the control column
All new rod ends
New header tank in 1994
New voltage regulator
Wings recovered in 1997
GPS antenna mounted on fuselage
Specifications:
Gross Weight-1400
TT-3057
SMOH-57 (That's right...only 57 hours on a major overhaul)
Prop-57 since new
Some interesting details: This plane was not flown from 1951-1963
and again from 1970-1991. In 1992 it only had 679 hours total time! I flew it
last month from NJ to FL in nine hours without a hiccup. It has a Terra
Digital Navcom, a Terra Digital VOR head that shows you the "to" and "from"
radial in a digital readout, and a Terra Digital transponder. The transponder
has a "VFR" button to quickly switch you to a frequency of 1200. The display on
the transponder was dim so I sent the unit for a complete overhaul last month
($550). It now is perfect. This plane was painted with Imron paint in 1994.
The paint is in very good conditions and shines beautifully. The paint on the
leading edges is the only area that is worn. It is scheduled to go into the
paint shop next week to have the leading edges repainted. It's yellow and
black with a scallop design on the wings. The interior is in great condition.
It has an Airtex interior which is just a few years old..black and red and in
great condition. Many Ercoupe cowlings are cracked and patched in multiple
places from stress, rocks and 60 years of use. This cowling was recently
completely replaced with all new parts from Univair, about $1000 in parts
alone. It is flawless. This Ercoupe has had $40,000 invested in it since 2001
(the engine overhaul was a sizable chunk of that).
I am selling it for $26,500. You can find Ercoupes for $3000,
$4000 even $5000 less, but you will spend tens of thousands to bring them up to
the condition of this one. I will have pictures available after the plane gets
out of the paint shop and at that time I will list it "to the public". If any
of you are interested, let me know. It is located in Florida at the Spruce
Creek Fly-in (7FL6) and you are welcome to come see it. Contact me at 917
297-1111 or [EMAIL PROTECTED] .com.
