A friend and I are planning on flying our Ercoupes from California to
Oshkosh. First long trip for both of us.

Off topic questions:

1. which engine?

2. what route?

Reason for asking: thinking about flying a 65 hp Champ coast to coast.

I have a C90 in an Alon Aircoupe and my friend has the O200 in an
older Ercoupe.

We're going to try I80 going out, and will come back that way, or
maybe the southern route through Albuquerque.

Read "Flight of Passage" by Rinker Buck and you will see your 65hp
Champ is capable of such a flight.
