Looks great! Do you have the rudder pedal STC, or are you original and rudderless?

My co-pilot and cheif mechanic's assistant was thrilled to get the honor of first ride (after the safety pilot and I made a few circuits). He had been very patient with the whole process and spent many an hour holding a wrench on the other side of the firewall or crawling up under the dash to get to those hard to reach places. I think he is hooked, I know I amdesignrs wrote:Just awesome... the plane and the expressions of joy on both the pilot and co-pilot!
It was sheer joy for me to take my son (and daughters and wife) up, it brought back many fond memories of similiar days in my youth buring holes in the sky with my grandfather in his Eroupe!- ercoupe fun.jpg (93.4 KiB) Viewed 7692 times

Fantastic, for all of you, and the photo 636 a few posts above, shot from the low angle, is reminiscent of warbird imagery. Nice job!

Congratulation - Great pictures and a fine airplane. Had the pleasure of flying a 75HP and 85HP Ercoupe in the 60's, both had the old 360 channel Narco coffee grinder radios, and both were an absolute joy to fly. VR.. Don

360 channel, Don? What a luxury! My Narco SuperHomer had only four crystals.

Agreed desingrs, I love that shot! One of the Wifey's hobbies is photography and I really like the perspective in that pic. It graces my desktop! And it was taken with an iPhone to boot...designrs wrote:Fantastic, for all of you, and the photo 636 a few posts above, shot from the low angle, is reminiscent of warbird imagery. Nice job!
