My suspicion is that the 800 pound Ercoupes were the Pre war Coupes . They came with an A-65 and only one wing tank.
Probably not much interior and a wooden prop. Fabric wings of course. That shaves off a 100 pounds. I would be astounded to find a reasonable equipped Ercoupe that weighs less than 900 pounds.

I was thinking mine was heavy but it looks like it is very typical. Jim had shared a W & B form with me and it showed, for an example, an ercoupe with a empty weight of only 804 lbs. Is this weight really possible? I'm sure it is a fabric wing with little instrumentation but still only 804 lbs. Maybe we ought to have a contest for the lightest ercoupe (The Biggest Loser). I've never watched that show. Any comments on the lightest?
