Depends on temperature and altitude. From the Ercoupe 415-D Flight Manual, at
1400 lbs., the table to clear 50 ft for PAVED runway is as follows.

So 1500 ft grass, with trees at the end won't work at all, except as
widow-maker...

Hello all,
Im familiar with the Ercoupe, though I havent ever been able to find a
takeoff distance, and takeoff over a 50 foot obstacle distance listed.
Im thinking of getting a coupe and keeping it at home, though Ive
heard they love the ground. I have 1500' of slightly downhill open
area, with trees at the bottom of the hill. From what I can gather,
this would be abit short for a coupe. From yalls experience, how long
does the coupe like to stay on the groud?
Thanks for the help
Greyson Noles.
