What I said was NOT what you were referencing in your post. Show me where the phrase "Go **** yourself" appears in the quote above made by me. It doesn't! You used me where I wasn't involved. But don't sweat that. It happens quite a lot on this idiotic forum. -- Dudley Henriques |

The trouble with you is that you like lecturing people so much on these forums you don't follow your own advice. For example, you have never once since I've been on this forum, posted an aviation related post snip Martin is an interesting newsgroup character. He never, EVER posts about aviation, yet he's always here, on a piloting forum. It's kinda weird, actually, although he can be a decent guy. Just don't bring up the U.S., and everything is fine. And now, for some NAC: BTW, Dudley -- Mary and I flew the 'Coupe to nearby Muscatine this evening, as a flight of two with friends. It was a gorgeous summer's eve, flying (with the top down, natch) low and slow over the most stunning emerald-green landscape you can imagine. After a great dinner we landed back in Iowa City a few minutes past sunset, with the biggest moon rising you can imagine. Total cost: 3.9 gallons of unleaded mogas. Gotta love it! I tell ya, we've never had so much fun as we've had with this little Ercoupe... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Volk Field, an Air Force base in central Wisconsin, had an open house today,
and offered not only a static display, but also the F-16 demo team as well as an IFR and VFR seminar by the FAA. It was a beautiful high pressure day, and there were at least 30 planes on the ramp. We had a Chinook, Blackhawk, three f-16's, as well as a KC-135 and other stuff, in addition to the Wings seminar and great weather. It was a great flying day, and fun for all. |

It is strange. He's injected himself in on me before; always with some "advice" he thinks I need. He might well even be right but I don't play well with people who do this kind of thing, but no big deal. :-) And now, for some NAC: BTW, Dudley -- Mary and I flew the 'Coupe to nearby Muscatine this evening, as a flight of two with friends.

I tell ya, we've never had so much fun as we've had with this little Ercoupe... The old Coupe is a wonderful airplane as I'm sure you have already learned. It chugs along quite cheerfully on a dime. I have a few hours in one that we had on the field. It was a lot of fun, sort of like a car. I'd roll down the side window and just feel the breezes. We flew it off a hard surface but it behaved a bit better on the grass. The one thing I recall more than anything else was how low the nose was when we had to prop it once in a while. Looks like your son has taken to the bird with no trouble at all. Glad you guys are getting some relief from the gas prices :-)) -- Dudley |

I'd roll down the side window and just feel the breezes. We flew it off a hard surface but it behaved a bit better on the grass. I haven't taken it on grass yet, but it lands so easily I expect it'll be very nice. (Our local grass strip -- one of our favorite places to fly -- is still closed since the flooding in June. Six feet of water killed the grass, and they're keeping it closed until the turf comes back strong enough to take the abuse of landings.) The one thing I recall more than anything else was how low the nose was when we had to prop it once in a while. You may be describing a typical problem with 'Coupes. The landing gear geometry is important, and with age gets "off" as the landing gear donuts age and sag. This also adversely impacts take-off performance, as it changes the angle of attack. Our landing gear is brand new, and sits fairly tall, especially compared to the old, clapped out Ercoupe I flew in back in Wisconsin. Of course, it's a tiny airplane, so even "sitting tall" it's pretty low to the ground. Everything about it is...cute. Looks like your son has taken to the bird with no trouble at all. Glad you guys are getting some relief from the gas prices :-)) Yeah, we can pretty much fly the 'Coupe four times a week (or more) for what it costs to fly Atlas once. Once the weather gets cold, and we're not able to fly with the top down, I expect we'll not be flying "Sweetie" quite so much -- but ya gotta make hay while the sun's shining! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Sounds like you might have found the "new" family airplane once you STC that back seat you've been wishing you had back there :-)))) -- Dudley Henriques |

There are a few models that are LSA eligible, and I have been tossing the idea of buying one to train in. |
