Right you are Leslie. It seems to me that in an Ercoupe there is just a lot more difference between power-on and power-off sink behavior. Like about 5MPH worth. A 150 or 172 doesn't start to sink quite so readily and rapidly...indeed, the landing gear seems to absorb the result of a sinky landing. > It's not like we have so much power that we can just cram the throttle > in to pull the fat out of the fire. Now actually, when I had the vernier throttle on N2906H I was astonished at how little power it took to adjust the sink in and out. It often felt like 'dial-a-landing.' About a quarter of a twist arrested sink, about a half a twist set her down from a 'hover'.
