Ercoupers

 

I have just acquired a true C model Ercoupe (never converted to a D model so it 
really is  LSA compliant).  N93312, serial number 635, was last licensed in 
2001.  The owner became ill and didn't fly or license it again, although he did 
run the engine several times every year for the past 8 years.  The log books 
start in 1956.  Book #1 from 1946 to 1956 is lost. There is no damage history. 
Total time on the airframe is 1350 hours.  Time since major overhaul is 857 
hours.  When it was annualed in 2001, new tires, a new fuel pump, new 
navigation lights, a new compass and a new ELT were installed.  (Attached photo 
was taken in 2001), The seat was also recovered at that time.  The wings are 
Ceconite and were recovered in 1995.  Compression at last annual was in the mid 
70's for all cylinders.  The engine, a C-75,  was last run in 2008.  I removed 
the wings yesterday and inspected the center spar for corrosion...none was 
found.  I  also removed several of the inspection covers in the wings and found 
no corrosion.  In fact, the entire wing structure was inspected, prepped and 
zinc chromated in 1995, before the wings were recovered.  The aircraft is 
polished aluminum with yellow and black trim.  It has a dual nose fork.  The 
panel is the original, classic Ercoupe panel with glove box doors on both sides 
and the instruments in the original factory configuration.   

 

I am offering this aircraft as a project, as-is.  If  I do not sell it as-is, I 
will have the following work done and put it on the market at more than double 
the price.

 

1.Repair small tear in wing fabric (about 2 inches) and rejuvenate the wings 
with Ceconite wing rejuvenator (they are faded, cracked and unsightly).

2.Replace the brake master cylinder

3.Repair small leak in header tank

4.Install new Dzuz fasteners on cowling doors

5.Install new interior

6.Replace all hoses

7.Install new battery

8.Repair or replace, if necessary, all windows (hazy, not cracked). A Micromesh 
treatment might work.  They were all installed new in 2001.

9.Replace window welting

10. Service brakes and struts

11. If necessary, I will have a top overhaul done on the engine.

12. Have the annual inspection completed

 

As I have all my work done by an Airframe and Power plant mechanic with 
Inspection Authority, I pay standard shop rates.  I estimate my cost for the 
above work, including the top overhaul (if necessary), to be $8,000.  If you 
can do some of this work yourself, the savings will be significant.

 

There are some dimples in the metal from hail.  While this is not an 
airworthiness issue, it is unsightly so this plane will never be a show winner, 
unless the dimples are addressed.  At some point in the past the wing tanks 
were repaired with spot welds on the outside.  While functional, they are 
unsightly.

 

I have tried to describe the plane to the best of my ability but I am not a 
mechanic.  It is being sold as-is. Please feel free to inspect it yourself or 
have a local mechanic inspect it for you. 

 

This aircraft has lived in Maine from 1956 to the present.  It is currently 
hangared at KOWK, Central Maine Airport in Norridgewock, Maine.  If you are 
interested, please contact me at 917 297-1111 or [email protected].

 

Thanks
