Grass strip landing in an ercoupe 415c

Grass strip landing in an ercoupe 415c. Did a couple soft field landings at chalet Suzanne in the ercoupe 415-c. Trying to make time building for the airlines fun so I am going on adventures in my vintage aircraft.

I especially like the behind the shoulder cockpit view. Good job.

What airport was the grass strip at

[@KutWrite]

Thanks for the ride.
I prefer the other view. If I recall, we can see more out the windshield. The second, rear view is cool, esp. since it's offset due to the dual tail. Great audio, BTW.
The Ercoupe is very cool. Is the top open or clear plastic? I'm not sure how those sliding windows work. It's funny to see a plane with the dual-cone venturi-vacuum generator on the side. The Piper Colt I learned in had one, and those ancient, black "steam" gauges, too.
Your wife is cute and spunky. It's a bonus when she's along.

Thanks for the kind words and feedback! Cheers!!

The canopy windows are thin plexiglass or lexan sitting in curved tracks that run down the interior wall of the cabin and meet top center. Do they slide all the way down for entry and meet at the top to close. The plane can be flown with the windows totally open.

[@kenthompson3730]

I almost always fly with the canopy all the way open, except for takeoff. There’s about a 5mph speed penalty.
Also, my glass is tinted dark gray, so that helps with the sun.

Is 2000’ grass runway enough for a 85hp coupe at gross ? (Sea level)

[@risingsun_]

It’s doable but my personal minimums were 2400ft on grass but I do not have a ton of grass experience maybe a couple dozen landings

My sister lives near that grass strip. I visit her in Lake Wales about twice a year from Wyoming.

[@risingsun_]

That’s awesome! It’s super close to where I’m based! I’m planning a trip out west at some point!
