I do remember the Dewey Bryan crash, recall that he was using an electric
motor with acme screw or a electric solenoid, believe he hit a switch in the
cockpit and retracted a shear pin, EAA recommended making it a requirement
to remove said pin from the outside only, Phil. Lohiser

Fix the high cost [Was:] High Cost of Sportplanes
"Any mass produced successful sport aircraft today ought to have
folding wings, whether it's trailered or if it goes in a community
hanger. There is a folding wing mod for the venerable Ercoupe (it's
STC'd or their equivalent in Canada, I'm not sure here) and five or six
of them will fit in the hangar footprint of a Skylane."


Some Ercoupes have (STC'd) folding wings?
