What Is The Best Ercoupe Design To Buy?

 

If you’re in the market for a historical Ercoupe aircraft, there are a few design changes and known flaws you should research before you buy. First of all, the Ercoupe aircraft was produced between 1948 to 1960 as one of the most reliable single engine aircraft available on the market.

 

To this day, there are no known failures of the Ercoupe due to age or airframe fatigue. However, there are a few design features that can be adjusted that will give you a better Ercoupe experience.

When looking for an Ercoupe, you should always investigate the rudder pedals. Most Coupes these days will be sold with rudder pedals, but if your chosen airframe doesn’t come with them, you can buy a kit for $1000 from Univair. The rudder pedals make flying simpler in the Ercoupe and if you’re a training pilot, will make your final check ride easier.

Next, a good Ercoupe will always have an updated wing inspection port set, as directed by Univair Service Bulletin #27. Without these four ports on the wing, you risk metal corrosion that cannot be easily seen. Any Ercoupe that’s been updated will have up to sixteen ports which make inspection much easier, and your flying much safer.

Finally, the subject of the engine in the Ercoupe is always a hot topic. Some Ercoupes have been converted to 100-horsepower engines. Some still have the original 75-horsepower design. Either way, the Ercoupe handles very well in many flying conditions.

 

The Ercoupe is especially good for heavy-crosswinds, which makes it great for cross-country flying and for new pilots. Perfectly-maintained Ercoupes today are available for only $20,000 and offer an inexpensive flying option for new pilots and hobbyists who want a piece of history.
