My hit on it is that you wanted a reason to stop flying and the idiots in this ng gave you that reason. Jim In the meantime, I have decided to push this long standing, all consuming passion out the door. It will be difficult to turn in my wings, but necessary.

I am with Jim on this.. If there is a will, there is a way... You have
lost your will... Amen. I am in the process of buying an old Ercoupe in a new flying club that I'm starting with two other guys. Our entire investment will be $18,000 -- divided three ways. I paid $6000 for a motorcycle in 1988. Flying *can* be affordable. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Some thoughts: Spar issues, make sure it has all the extra inspection holes underneath... Not all models are "Light Sport" compliant... Looks bigger than it actually is. For + sized people... Did you tell Montblack about this?

I am in the process of buying an old Ercoupe in a new flying club
that I'm starting with two other guys. Our entire investment will be $18,000 -- divided three ways. Some thoughts: Spar issues, make sure it has all the extra inspection holes underneath... Check. Not all models are "Light Sport" compliant... Yep. We ended up getting a '48 "E" model, which is NOT light sport. It does, however, have an extra 180 pounds of useful load. Looks bigger than it actually is. For + sized people... It's "cozy"... ;-) Did you tell Montblack about this? Yep. He was actually the guy that got us looking at buying an Ercoupe in the first place, and was an early partner in this venture. We stopped looking for light sport models after he backed out. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
