Comments:
The LSA (Light Sport Aircraft) segment of aviation is
exploding, with manufacturers rushing to bring planes to the
market. If your plan is to get a Light Sport License and use it
to fly around in your local area to punch a few holes in the
clouds, this may be the perfect plane for you.
Financing
is available here.
Call me now to discuss this plane. Delivery is available.
In
1991, the pilot came in too slow on a short final, stalled, and
nosed-over. Properly repaired and returned to service. |

Ercoupes that
qualify for the Light Sport License are getting very hard to find.
The Ercoupe (E and R coming from the company's
name: Engineering and Research Corporation) was one of the most
unusual-and controversial-light airplanes ever built. It was
designed by Fred E. Weick, one of aviation's foremost engineers, who
decided to solve with one bold stroke the biggest single cause of
aviation fatalities: the stall, followed by spin, at altitudes too
low to permit recovery. The Ercoupe was designed to be stall-proof
and spin-proof.
The Ercoupe was noticeably faster than its
contemporaries and quite comfortable and easy to fly. One nice touch
was that the cockpit canopy could be opened in flight, producing
much the same sensation as driving a convertible with the top down.
It was a nice looking, aluminum fuselage with cloth wings, and it
was true that it would neither stall nor spin. The major thrust of
the sales effort was "anyone can fly," and cases without
end were cited in which pilots who had never had a previous lesson
soloed in three hours, or two, or even one. As some owners began to
metalize the wings, the factory did produce some later models with
metal wings.
