Scott,
I love my Ercoupe however it is not the ideal plane
for back country flying with the short fields, high density altitudes, and
terrain.
If I was going to own something other than my
Ercoupe I'd absolutely go with the RV9. However you will need to be very
careful & frugal to stay within your $50K budget.
Best of luck !

I'd like to be able to get in and out of less thanideal strips. However, it would be nice to be able to travel in the 130 -150 knot range for A to B travel.And lastly, less than $ 50KAny thought for the ideal do-it-all plane for this?Zenith air 701 or 601Van's RV 9Built Ercoupe?Or__________?********************************************************************PS - Thanks to those of you who encouraged me and other newbies to go for a non-restrictedlicense. It is worth the effort for many different reasons.============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers/
