James , Find some partners before giving it up.
I just got my Va drivers license renewed which means I am good in our Ercoupe for another 7 years as I am now a Sport Pilot after flying since 1951. Heck, I will be 82 when I have to renew the drivers license again. But I hope to still be enjoying that Coupe. Took me many years to find this beauty and I am not giving her up. See you at the EOC Convention. Jim N3439H KFDK ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed Burkhead To: 'James B.

Far better to have a Coupe when you want it most of the time than have no Coupe at all. 2.. I like the pattern of the brown painted Coupe better but I'd prefer a bright primary color, i.e. red, yellow, blue, etc. The white plane with minimal red stripes does also look nice, but it doesn't grab me. If you're sure you will have to sell it, leave it pure white for the buyer to customize. 3.. Being a chicken-hawk, I like the idea of the top of the plane having as much white as possible while the bottom side has as much dark as possible to enhance air-to-air visibility. 4.. There's no need to double post a question like this. We ask that you just submit on-topic messages like this (and all replies) to -tech only. Thanks. Good luck. Ed
