Thanks for the humor, Jack, I had a good belly laugh! :) Kathy -------------------------------------------------------------- Some people like to polish their kitchen stove. This is done to make the stove resemble a Ercoupe. They then attach a VSI to the stove and drop it out of a airplane and watch it fall. It falls very fast, but not as fast as a Ercoupe. Others place their hands on the wing root while on an approach. This is done, to the best of my understanding, to make the Coupe fall faster. I believe this is accomplished by pushing so hard on the wing root that the wings break off. This breaking off of the wings is due in part to the corrosion that is on all Ercoupe spars. I think the corrosion is either black or white, the color was never nailed down. But it's there and you just as well use it to your advantage. Now to get this corrosion, to make the plane land faster, one must add Swiss Cheese to the wings. This is done in compliance to an AD. This Swiss Cheese addition encourages mice to live in the wings. Their little kidneys create a by-product that eats away at the wings spars. Now you can't see the little mice do this, (Number 1), they are bashful. (Don't peak in the holes in the wings, a mirror won't help). But you can hide a camera in the wing and take pictures. I guess you then publish these videos on the web under some strange site name. www.pervertedmice.com Ercoupes can fly slow. Some fly so slow that they overheat, the engine quits and they drop out of the sky like a chrome plated kitchen stove. Others don't overheat because those little mice are up there on the cylinders doing Number 1 on the hot surfaces to keep them cool. Some Ercoupes fly real fast. This high speed will no doubt help get the corroded wings off. But PLEASE, tell the little mice when you are planning to break off the wings so they can get out. Let's be human.
