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. Well, for simple fun flying, the 'Coupe is hard to beat. There is NOTHING like flying around on a nice evening, with the "top down" and your arm hanging out the window, like an old '57 Chevy. It's an experience I will never forget. On the other hand, if you want to fly from Texas to Oklahoma, I'd take the Comanche. Or, more economically, my Pathfinder. -- Jay Honeck Port Aransas, TX Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 |
