Re: Fw: Needed-Ercoupe Instruction in WV or close

[Syd Cohen]

Glen, I'm far from West Virginia, but I'm surprised to hear you say your Coupe was very hard to land.  A properly rigged and balanced Coupe is extremely easy to land.  Maybe the previous owner didn't know what he was doing.  Yes, you need a check out from an experienced Couper.  I wish I was closer so I could be the one.
