I can fly my Coupe at 45 MPH with tanks half empty and just me in it (190 ##) - no stall , full throttle though. To repeat the story of our second Coupe: That one had an airspeed meter showing bullshit , someone put a worthless piece of ยง$%t into his plane just to save some money. arghh. landing that plane at speeds around 65 was only possible with full power on final. After replacing the airspeed meter normal readings appeared and normal behavior of the Coupe too. I tried several times to land the plane at 60 - 70 like the book wants it - all that ended just in a very fast decent and a hard bounce. No good. God knows what speed I was really flying. I had to hold 80 on final. to fly a normal approach. Of course these 80 MPH were just a fiction - something what the airspeed meter was making up. I think it is a very good idea to have the airspeed meter checked from time to time especially since the coupe starts sinking when reaching lower speeds . <http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm> Also check the distance from the bottom of the wing to the pitot tube! I'm told that this distance should be three&seven eighths inches. Suppose to be critical for correct airspeed reading.
