Griphos Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Seen 'em. Flown in 'em. Always have had a fond spot in my heart for these quirky birds (but I love most quirky birds). That's a very nice one at Lakeland that you captured there, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 For those who don't know about the Ercoupe it was designed as an airplane to make flying as simple and safe as driving a car. Biggest difference was that it has NO rudder pedals. The idea was that you couldn't get into a spin that way!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that i ever got the chance to fly one. However, I haven't seen one since the 60s. This one is of me in front of my dads in 1962. A few weeks later he crashed it. Josh I sure hope your dad was alright Joshua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
