Yea, how well did that catch on? Real good.

Not! ;-)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

5600 Ercoupes is not a shameful number,
if you care to think about other notables
of the era that did not fare nearly as well.

With almost 9000 hours, CSMEL, Instrument
ticket, CFI and 50 years of experience in many
different aircraft what am I missing about a neat
aircraft that was ahead of its time over 60 years ago?

P.S.
Why all the ****ing negativity, anyway?
The Coupe's a fine fun flying aircraft with
no bad habits and a bargain at today's prices.
