Hello,
Joined the group a few weeks ago and have been checking old
postings and lurking. Appears to be a very good, active and helpful
group. I've been inactive for years (Commercial/Instrument/ A&P). Was
half owner of a Champ many years ago. That ended and now am finally able
to look forward to getting another plane. This time, I will be looking
for a LSA, low wing and SBS; choices are limited. I had a short ride in
an Ercoupe many years ago and liked it, especially the visibility. The
SBS seating is important as I give lots of rides and have had people get
sick in the rear seat of the Champ...not good.
Am looking for basic information at this point. Questions at this
point are: Is the cockpit large enough for a 6 ft. 195 lb. pilot? (am
referring to room for legs and head to canopy, etc.) After reading many
of the old posts, am still unsure that I understand the full
significance of the corrosion/center section issue. Would appreciate
comments/opinions/ pros and cons on anything related to this.
Thanks in advance,
Tom Pederson
