This is silly, really silly. There is no reason to make things more complicated than they already are. I especially would hate to see some group like the Ercoupe Owners Club and a bunch of guys with nothing to do but over-analyze a 60 year old plane deciding who can and who can't work on a simplistic clunker like this. If the government can't decide, then they should just forget about it and quit handing out their authority to private groups. Save your type specific training for a 747. I can't believe you would even say that either you or your mechanic should have type-specific training for a plane like this! An Ercoupe is not too complicated. Any mechanic has already had enough training that if he can't work on an Ercoupe then you need to call a shrink and see why the mech's IQ has dropped below 70. It is actually no different than any other airplane, though some folks on here seem to be convinced otherwise. It is aluminum, after all, and most mechanics are still trained in fabric work, despite the common opinion. Anybody can do practically eveything on their coupe if they can change they oil in their car, or certainly if they can change their brakes. Maybe if some folks on here ever did more than fun ego-boost work on their plane they would know better! Glen Ward
