[COUPERS] Bigger people and Coupes

[MarWarHamp]

----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----   ================================================== <C'mon guys, there are lots of other planes besides coupes and Cessnas. Why do you ONLY pick on Cessnas? > Never seen an airplane I didn’t like!          As a Mooney M20 owner I love Mooney’s. Even the cockpit is not that tight. Just friendly. Good question. I wonder how many folks are on the coupe net, (like myself) that do not yet own a coupe?  But would like too.         Was on the Mooney list for a while and the Aeronca also. On the Mooney list, with their talk of $10,000. coupled gps and the like. Well that out of my budget. Aeronca list got to be just to much of a groupie thing.   So far what I have learned about the coupe is; I may never get to own/fly one. I weigh 205lbs, wife comes in at 135 lbs. Comments???  PLEASE read the disclaimer folks.         Well I go about the same as you. My Lovely is some more than yours. NEVER even with full tank an baggage over flowing the back. I have not felt the need to worry. Slow on climb out, sure a few hot days. But I have worried more in the M20 as I eat up runway. Double the Horse Power and double the weight. It needs more room to run even with 10* of flaps.         I’ll give the Cessnas that, them flap are as big as Barn doors.            Also, without naming names. Here in SoCal. A fellow Ercouper must go out at 280# plus seen him, his wife and baggage also spelled Beer. Flying out of the Hi desert. On a super hot days.          Now Do not do as I do. Yes, I am crazy folks.
