Thanks for the suggestions, however, due to my personal disability, I cannot perform the type of experiment you suggested. I just thought it was a query with an answer that would be readily available given the number of owners on this blog and the amount of technical information given on various subjects having to do with Ercoupes. My FBO is kind enough to move my Ercoupe for me to and from the hangar. They are very careful with their handling of the "Old Girl" and I just wanted to add some more information to help them do the job correctly so I don't have to wait around to supervise.

What I'm going to do is: • Have my son hold the tail down while I..... • Move the yoke Left and Right. • Put a chalk line on the hangar floor for each yoke full deflection. • Then measure the angle, • O.K. I haven't worked out the next step, I have to think this out a bit further. Prof. Ed ************ ** Stay up to date on the latest news - from sports scores to stocks and so much more.
