Looking at an old Ercoupe today...
The red flag for me is the age of the engine. It sat for 15 years
then was flown for only 30 hrs in 8 years. It had 400 hrs SMOH Me, too. One thing I forgot to mention is that it had a top end overhaul in 2002, when it was brought out of its 15-year sleep. Even so, we have adjusted our offer to reflect a mid-time engine rather than a 400 hour engine. We also understand that the camshaft could be a rusted POS that trashes the engine in the next 40 hours. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
