I know I brought this up a couple of years ago, but here goes again.  How many remember a federal AIR USE TAX?  If I remember right the fed's never sent a notice, it was your responsibility to send it in each year. I believe it was $ 25.00 for planes up to a certain wt. and than on up depending on wt. Of course the Ercoupe was $ 25.00. If there is now no tax, when was it repealed? If its still in use why hasn't anyone wrote about it?  On Ins., What do most of you carry in Dollar amount for liability and Med.? Do many of you carry Hull ins.?  2749 H is in for annual. we took the wings off today. On initial inspection it looks good. Found one mouse nest but showed no corrosion when removed.  My Mec. and a instructor from WNCC Aircraft school here in Sidney will inspect (according to AD) it further tomorrow.   Jim Phelps ========================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers/ ========================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers/
