Well, at least they were honest about it. Since there is really no reliable listing for Ercoupe specific mechanics, and that's a shame, you should contact the EAA and see if they have a Vintage chapter in the area. Those folks would be more knowledgeable about who may be able to help you.
Check the smaller airports like Lincoln Park and maybe Greenwood Lake and Sussex for a mechanic that would suit your needs. Good luck.

I am looking for a nearby mechanic experienced on Ercoupes to do an annual inspection on my plane. As I previously mentioned the fixed base operator here at my airport do not care to work on an Ercoupes. (O.K. he fired me) "He feels that they are not familiar with the plane" That's a quote. I personally think they're after the big money stuff. They did my last annual and it took 17 days in their shop and about $4.000 of labor time and about $300 + for parts and oil change. Believe me when I say that this what I was told, "You're paying us for the learning curve" That's a quote too. And it was continually put aside for the Big Dollar Birds. As mentioned. Now I'm looking. Thank you, Prof. Ed ************** Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place. Try it now.
