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.

There was a retrofit rudder pedal kit for the original Ercoupe
models. Quite a few of the ones I've seen have that mod. The later
manufacturer like Alon and Mooney incorporated rudders pedals as
standard.
