Sport Pilot pilots not insurable?

My Ercoupe is a 415-C, has the C-75 engine and has never modified to the
higher gross weight so it can then be used as a LSA plane. I might just go
for the Sport Pilot CFI add-on to my private certificate after all...


Hey Greg. Long time...!!

How are things in Ercoupe ownership land?

I'm starting to look at Ercoupes these days because of SP. Had a barn wreck
415-C I could have picked up last fall, but *why* at his price? He was
dreaming!! Looking for something flyable, at 2002 prices of around $14K. Now
I'm dreaming :-)

Are you noticing the prices for the 415-C's going through the roof?

You gonna be able to make it over to OSH this year? Hope so.

Hey Mont,
There is a Ercoupe for sale at Hawkins Co TN Airport for 14,500. 24 SMOH ,
could use a paint job Said he didn't plan on painting it because if he
didn't sell it he was going to polish it up. I believe it's a 46 "C", if I
remember correctly.

I've been lurking the groups for a little while. I've been busy moving and
trying to start my own business. My Ercoupe is still hangared in St James
but I'm now living/working in Fairmont so I don't get to fly as often as I'd
like, or should. I've been watching Ercoupes sell on eBay for $18-25k.
Almost makes me think about selling mine.

I would like to make it to Oshkosh but it doesn't look possible at this
time. :-(
I *might* make it to Pre-Osh but then head back to MN instead of WI.

Mont,
Couldn't send to you direct I'll put it here. The Ercoupe is located at
Hawkins County Airport, TN (RVN), It is posted on the board so call the
airport 423-345-0219, just tell them you need Mike's number about the
Ercoupe.
Price 14,500. Had 24 SMOH when I saw it a few months ago. Interior isn't
great but it doesn't look like a rats nest either. Needs paint! Fabric wings
are fine, and has rudder pedal mod. No radio or transponder, and no 25 G
price tag either!!!!
