Trying to figure out the flaw in my logic here, maybe you can help.
Two Ercoupes at two seats each equals one 4 seat Comanche. Two
Ercoupes each at 100 mph would be faster than a comanche at 180 miles
an hour, and two two bladed props is one more blade than a three
bladed one.

The Comanche does win on fuel though, probably 10 gph vs two Ercoupes
at 4 gph each.
