I need to agree with Ed's recommendation on this, there will be a 2 control restriction on the license if done in an Ercoupe without pedals. If an examiner missed somebody, that's a gift unless there's a problem down the line.

Master flying. Do the last hours in a 3-control plane getting training in slips, 3-control crosswind landings, perhaps even a spin if the plane is rated for it. Take the checkride in the 3-control rental plane. Practice and polish your skills for the checkride. You'll still save a bunch of money on the rental and lessons and yet get the unrestricted license. On the side, you get the 3-control basic skill set. Ed
