Hi folks-- Finally got 99790 back in the air after a four month owner-assisted annual. I am a former Comanche driver who decided slower is better. Bought 1/2-interest in 99790, which is all-metal with pedals. I saw a rather lengthy thread of postings a few months ago about a buffer that has dual heads and some sort of wonder wax sold by the same company that makes the buffer. I can't find it, so it must have been before my system crashed. Would someone please re-post the web site URL for the buffer and polish. I convinced my partner to do the owner-assisted annual so we could both learn the airplane. After dealing with the Comanche's landing gear system, constant speed prop and all the other stuff that makes the Comanche the great airplane that it is, I found that the Ercoupe is a lot like a Model A Ford (I've restored a couple of them in the past) in that there is not much on the Ercoupe that is not there for a purpose. Very basic airplane, and a heck of a lot of fun to fly. We replaced the motor mounts (got rid of a lot of vibration, and the old ones were as hard as hocky pucks and three of the disks were cracked into pieces) installed those teardrops on the top cowling so we could use modern spark plugs, and replaced the brake fluid reservoir. Anyway, it's great to have her back in the air, and the flying weather is great this time of year here in Central Texas. Would appreciate any information about that dual-head buffer.
