Default Ercoupes... ?


Jim

Wasn't there a retrofit that put rudder peddles in bird and gave it
three dimensional controls like the rest of GA aircraft? The only
bitch I heard about the original bird landing in crab, was that the
tire wear was pretty bad and you had to chnge often if a lot of cross
wind landings.

Fly safe and have a nice day.
