Ercoupes don't glide.....piano's glide better.

one of the few aircraft that can claim warbird heritage. To me she's a YO-55 not an Ercoupe, but I still would love to fly one again.

I thought you were at my home field (KLQK, Pickens...SC) until I heard "runway 16." Nice bird. Considering one myself.

You ever want to sell this Plane... Look me up.

Note to self: pick up my left wing.

Great instructor

In the Ercoupe, what is your speed on final? I hear two different numbers. Some say 75kts and other 65kts.. or does it depend on the aircraft.

FUN AIRCRAFT..I just purchase one now to fly..lol first flight was really strange ..w 400 hrs in a 172. The first flight had me laughing at the take off and lancing Is characteristics. Do you now own it?

Great Instruction. Excellent Video.

My first experience in Ercoupe serial 036 out of Fort Worth Texas back in the early 2000s. At the time it was one of the last pre WW2 ercoupes flying. Very fun plane.

My first airplane ride was out of Pickens county in an Ercoupe . My friend Bob had one and I have many fond memories of that plane .

At no point was the engine "out". Click bait.

Does anyone teach rocking the wings back and forth 20 to 30 degrees to bleed off altitude anymore? It used to be part of the training, way back in the day.

Nice plane!

Can we get name and contact info for this instructor

I love these little planes

What ended up happening? Did you decide to get it? Nice looking Ercoupe!

Does anybody know if it's possible to do long trips with an Ercoupe 90hp engine?

I have watched you flight lessons in the Ercoupe with your instructor... I have an Ercoupe and am I almost ready to take my check ride... I keep refreshing myself with your lessons and instructor... So THANKS..

Still flying the Ercoupe? Curious how you enjoy it after a year.

Great! I fly out of Lafayette...

How is the fit in the Ercoupe with two decent sized guys? I'm thinking about buying a small two seater that isn't tandem and Ercoupes look pretty good but I'm a decent sized dude. Not sure it would even fit two adults with me in there.

Great engine out landing.

Mine has rudder pedals from the factory. Mine is a 1961 Forney F1A Aircoupe

she is a true beauty... love the all original interior.

This Ercoupe has a similar paint scheme to mine. Mine is a 1961 Forney F1A Aircoupe. It has bucket seats, and more gauges. Mine has rudders and you are correct about the rudders taking up legroom. Mine has the rectangle control wheels vs the pretzel wheels.

I remember my dad climbing out of the Cessna 172 at Sparta White Co. Airport. I never thought about it until I took off and passed about 300 feet off the ground and realized, "Hey I am all by myself now!" I had a great time. I went out the next day and rented the same airplane and did my first unsupervised solo. Sparta White is now a shopping center.

My Ercoupe has factory rudder pedals so it is a little more to keep up with. I have it housed on a grass strip to save money. There is a big difference between taking off and landing on grass versus paved runways.

As in the earlier lessons, I appreciate the patience and expertise of the instructor. I hope to find a great instructor for my lessons and check ride. I hope to get my PPL this year.

I am enjoying this like I am getting a lesson myself. Thanks so much.

Hi Mike are you still flying the Ercoupe? Would you recommend it for flight lessons instead of the usual choices?

Outstanding airspeed control. Nice stabilized approach. Good job!

Where can I get some break pads for an Ercoupe? Cant find them anywhere.

This instructor in this aircraft is phenomenal! How, where and when can this instructor along with this aircraft be hired??

You guys fly low doesn't look like anywhere to land if the engine quits I think I would go up to 5000 feet at least give some range.

I want to fly an Ercoupe!!! I love those planes!!!

You did Great !!!

Awesome video!!!

What I love about these planes its like being in T top car sit with you elbow outside. I can't believe no one has even made a kit version of these. Steering it is like a car so easy to fly.

Wow , my first airplane ride was in an ercoupe out of pickens county airport . That brought back some memories . Great job !

I recall seeing William Moore's coupe at Benton County, TN some 20 years ago. At 59, I'm taking lessons and have my eye on this plane. Thanks for the ride along.

Watching your videos in 2022. I just started my lessons out of Pickens and I believe we have the same instructor. It will be a while before I solo...can't wait. Flying an Ercoupe tomorrow for the first time. Any words of wisdom/advise you can throw my way, would be so appreciated.

Love the footage. I'm from Spartanburg, but no longer live there, so it is very nice to see the beautiful area, especially from the seat of an Ercoupe. Thank you!

good teacher. hard when he needs to be. seen too many instructors babying people. you found a good one

Did you get this one bought yet? I have had mine for one week now. Have flown it only a few hours. It seems that the controls are different on almost every Ercoupe I have met. Where is the trim controls on this one? Where is the cabin heat vent control? Where is the jacks for the headset(s) and where is the carb heat? There are lots of controls that people never talk about.

My dad had one when I was small enough to fit in a baby seat in the luggage area. I hope to get my license and get one in the next few years and take him up in it.

I remember 415Cs with my dad. I was ten or twelve. He thought he was teaching me how to fly. I'd hold that round wheel while he threw all those switches. I was supposed to understand. Then we'd go fly. At 2000 ft he'd let me me steer for awhile. When I gained or lost five feet he'd grab the wheel and force me to correct. At fifteen I told him I was done. Only flew with him two more times as an adult passenger. He just died today.

I have one almost exactly like this one that I just bought, is it safe to fly two 170 pound passengers? Typically?

I can't wait to buy one! Love these planes.

such a bowl head without a cap? Its a hot day.. nice video
