The reason that I asked this question is that the briefer that I talked to was one of the most pleasant persons to talk to. When I said "ERCO" he said "You have a real nice airplane". He continued..."I have never flown in one but have heard they are a great plane". I was certain he was referring to the 415 models but still the later rudder pedaled models are great planes also. Thanks for the replies. Scott
