Comments: This
Ercoupe is from the average on the market today. Buy this aircraft,
give it a good polish and fly to Sun N Fun and collect your best of
class award.
The Ercoupe (E and R coming from the
company's name: Engineering and Research Corporation) was one of the
most unusual-and controversial-light airplanes ever built. It was
designed by Fred E. Weick, one of aviation's foremost engineers, who
decided to solve with one bold stroke the biggest single cause of
aviation fatalities: the stall, followed by spin, at altitudes too
low to permit recovery. The Ercoupe was designed to be stall-proof
and spin-proof.
The Ercoupe was noticeably faster than its
contemporaries and quite comfortable and easy to fly. One nice touch
was that the cockpit canopy could be opened in flight, producing
much the same sensation as driving a convertible with the top down.
It was a nice looking, aluminum fuselage with cloth wings, and it
was true that it would neither stall nor spin. The major thrust of
the sales effort was "anyone can fly," and cases without
end were cited in which pilots who had never had a previous lesson
soloed in three hours, or two, or even one. As some owners began to
metalize the wings, the factory did produce some later models with
metal wings.
