I don't feel the same being up on top of the wing. Makes me feel more in control but I miss the clear view below. I feel like I don't see the scenery as much. The coupe is a lot different from the planes I'd flown before and it handles better and has the nice open canopy, but that's about all I can see that is better about it. A C150 is probably better, if you leave out the fun-factor. -----Original Message----- From: Dotty Ray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; ERCOUPE <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, December 07, 2000 8:11 PM Subject: Re: [COUPERS] 172 bad mouthed: was canyon turns >----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- > >Hi Georgia, > >We have two coupes and will be selling one soon to afford finishing our >*old* 172 project. > >Our coupes are like sportscars....small, simple and fun.
