Hello Fellow Ercoupe owners -
I am a new owner of a 1947 415E. I am also learning
to fly(so if I use wrong terminology,
bear with me)
I was hoping a few of you might take the time to
help me with some questions I have re: the 'coupe.
Q-1
What is the best landing technique? We have a 800
FPM sink rate on final aproach and not much time for a flare
or a mistake. Power is 1500 rpm on approach
and at idle from ~ 500 feet from the run way @ ?? ft altitude.
The nose is down and we try and maintain about 70
mph.
The thing sinks like a rock! What are we doing
wrong? (see Q-2)
Q-2 During level flight, the The cordinated
turn indicator never rcompletely centers..could this be the rigging
and also
compound the landing problem...ie. slipping during approach?
Q-3 What is the glide ratio of this aircraft?
How well does this aircraft do in an emergancy situation (pilot skill
aside)?
Thanks for your help
Scott
