In reply to Greg's desire to put the Ercoupe back in production with all the best features is great. I have long wished someone other than Univair had the type certificate and would put the Ercoupe back into production. It could use the Lycoming or the 100 hp Franklin from Poland. It could be sold in finish/assemble it yourself kits. In kits, it could come with the fabric covered wing, which is superior for a whole bunch of reasons. It could have a modern panel layout, the best fuel tank arrangement, large baggage compartment, twin tails, more. It is the most modern and safest design ever; first tri-gear, semi monocoupe fuselage, truss ribbed fabric covered wings. It will easily lend itself to kit form, assemble it yourself. The fuselage could come with the controls, already installed to eliminate the buyer from having to struggle with that and for saftey reasons. I wish someone could buy the rights from Univair so it could be put back into production, twin tails and all. It is a better design than all those kits that are out there now. If we can take them apart and put them together as we do, we surely could assemble them from kits.
