Every since I have been interested in Ercoupes( early fifties), I have heard that term. The first ride I ever had in a low wing was in a Coupe. Walking out to the plane, the old inspecter said," Now just forget anything you have ever heard about these."

I'm in the hangar working on my beloved Ercoupe with the local, well-seasoned mechanic, when in walks an old friend of his and she says, "Hi Russ, I see you're working on a scare coupe"! She really was a nice lady so I didn't say something like, "this is MY Ercoupe and it's the safest thing you'll ever fly, so back off!" That's what I really wanted to say. But the question remains, where did that come from? Has anybody else ever heard that? Darick
