A day or so ago, during a discussion with some other pilots and mechanics, I was answering some questions about how the Ercoupe differed from other aircraft. The line mechanic butted in with a statement about how: "They say an Ercoupe is spinproof, but as soon as you get the nose up, the CG shifts aft and your dead--can't recover!" This from an experienced A & P who went through training in aerodynamics. !!! Rather than argue with this chap who has a strong opinion about everything and,in addition, knows everything, I allowed him to return to his duties and proceeded to explain how he was wrong. Some of the people present have had me demonstrate the Coupe to them so they could back me up. He also weighs 300# + so I couldn't offer him a ride to prove things. One gets tired of defending a snappy little airplane to naysayers who don't have the slightest clue of which way is up.
