Thank you! They are a great aircraft

Thank You!

That must have been a great mission for an Ercoupe, thank you for sharing!

The Ercoupe is a solid built aircraft. It was built to such a strength that the US army used it to test JATO propulsions, the army mounted 6 rockets to the belly of the Ercoupe in order to achieve a short takeoff and high climb. The Ercoupe can fly in almost all weather, it is capable of flying in such high winds that would keep most other aircraft grounded.

Yes, lol, If I were flying in DC I'd have a three-letter acronym to write... That was my main concern with the polished aluminum however It does not leave any residue or oil as long as you have the valve set properly.

Smoke- system- Helper 3gallon tank about 8 hours to install

The USAAF used the Ercoupe for the first RATO tests, the CAP used Ercoupes to search for German U-boats along the coast, the Alaska national guard used Ercoupes for Officer transport… those are just the published roles of military use. I’m sure your a halfway smart person, therefore, In the future do a little research before making negative comments so you don’t sound so dimwitted.

Thank you sir! She’s an amazing bird!

Thank your sir!

Yessir that was was me! I am based out at Sundance. Thank you, I appreciate it!

Sorry but I’d rather be flying than spending my time typing out a script for a TH-cam video. There are millions of flying videos on TH-cam, go find a different one if this is too boring… Thanks for your kind remarks

1. The ercoupe is definitely an easy and very simple airplane to fly, Cherokees have heavier control force (requiring constant trimming) and can be more difficult to land and more systems to operate typically (flaps, nav, fuel…). I first started my training in a Cherokee than finished in my Ercoupe. I do think it’s good to get a few hours in a Cherokee just to have that experience and perspective. 2- I never had an issue finding a instructor to teach in the Ercoupe, all my instructors had no experience in the ercoupe but had no issue learning the airplane and instructing. Most instructors that teach at flight schools wouldn’t mind freelancing outside of their flight school for you. 3- my ercoupe does have the rudder pedals STC so I have no restrictions on my license, if your is the original 2 axis control and you take the checkride in that airplane than you will have a 2 control limit on your PPL thus you can only fly Ercoupes. 4- the Ercoupe is a simple aircraft to work on, the hardest part id say is working under the instrument panel due to the lack of space. Univair supplies most parts for the ercoupe and a gentleman named Vernon Gregory has an ercoupe “graveyard” and has almost any part you will ever need for the ercoupe The ercoupe is a great airplane and would definitely recommend it If you have any more questions feel free to respond or you can also email me at llaslo12704@gmail.com

I did not last year, although I am planning to fly the Ercoupe up to Oshkosh in 2022 for the first time

Thank you! Planning to fly it up to Oshkosh for Airventure 2022, hope to see you there!

Awesome! We love Sundance, its a great airport and has an amazing community.

Video was made for a presentation at an EAA meeting thus the lack of sound. Not sure what you don’t like about the left side of the cockpit? It has the Alon square panel which i believe gives it a nice WW2 fighter look

The panel is exactly right for an Ercoupe with the Alon panel update. Give the owner a break. How many 16 year old kids do you know who have bought and restored an antique plane in lieu of his first car?

@@kenthompson3730 I just don't like the way the panel looks. Everything else is amazing, with my one opinion on the appearance of that panel, which is a minor criticism.

Thank you! I actually posted this video a few months ago but just realized yesterday I never made it public. I’ve been doing a lot of Ercoupe Flying lately, also just finished the annual today. I will be posting a video with clips from formation flying I’ve been doing with the Ercoupe!

That would be great You can email me at llaslo12704@gmail.com and we can meet up sometime. Maybe you could get some air to air photos as well, my buddies got a Cub that would be a great plane to take photos out of

Empty weight is 930 Max is 1400 So useful load is about 470

Yes sir, had it on February 1st! The ‘Coupe does have rudder pedals

@@av8r1946 Congrats and thanks for getting back to me. I am in the process of getting a Coupe myself which should be a done deal by end of June. It is a Model D conversion with the O-200 and rudder pedals. I'd love to pick your brain about your experience as I am still a student pilot and will be switching my training from a PA-28 Cherokee 151 Warrior to the Ercoupe once I actually own it. My name is Vic Yordan and I live in Central Florida. My email is flyvxy@pm.me. Hope we can connect. BTW are you a member of the Ercoupe Owners Club? Thanks again! VY

Just emailed, yes I am in the EOC👍🏼

Awesome! I do remember checking out your Tomahawk, what airport is it based out of?

@@av8r1946 CE Page, just west of Yukon.

@@johnjasinski6145 nice we are just a couple miles apart, im at Sundance. I fly down to Page quite often.

@@lawsonlaslo3283 When I get the Tomahawk put back together (engine is out for overhaul), lets go flying.

@@johnjasinski6145 sorry my reply was posted from my other TH-cam page, this is Lawson Laslo That would be great! You can email me at llaslo12704@gmail.com and we can exchange phone numbers etc👍🏼

Awesome! Do you live near Sundance airport? Or do you see me when I’m flying around the city?

We are very excited to bring it down this spring and let you see it in person again!

Thank you! -Lawson

Thank you! Hoping there will be some more fly-ins this year to bring it to!

Thank you Mark

Thank you

Thank you Lynn!

Sorry about that, I was using a new editing software I think it messed the with sound frequencies some how. What do you mean by a sales video? I have many other videos on my page and if you need I can even custom record a video to your requests

@@av8r1946 I have heard of cases when lithium batteries are the reason for bad audio recourdings.

Haha, that’s ground speed, must of had a good tailwind. Mine breaks at 41mph

Awesome! They are a joy to fly What was your N number?

Thank you!

Thank you Al!

So I believe all Ercoupes with the electrical system had the landing gear mounted landing light, and later on people would mount them inside The wing for better aerodynamics. And yes this Ercoupe has been modified with Alon panel.

My landing lights are actually mounted in the nose bowl. No drag lime on the gear mounted lights.

Thank you James

Thank you Ken We will be there! See you in 2 months!

There are a lot of project Ercoupes out there, just waiting to be resurrected. If you do Facebook, join “Ercoupe Owners and Enthusiasts.” It’s a great Group. Also, check Barnstormers.com and Tradeaplane.com.
