There are a number of Ercoupes carried by the FAA as 415-C Models with the O-200 installed.
Since I just downloaded the FAA aircraft database with which to update my own Ercoupe (et al) database, it would not be difficult to run a sort to get the N Numbers and $100 would buy the paperwork for 15-20 of them to check 337s. If there is a 337 signed off by a FSDO in a given coupe's paperwork, I'd like to know the basis on which ANYONE could credibly presume it NOT LSA legal if it was never fully and officially converted to a 415-D. I highly suspect some of these conversions were done exclusive of the Skyport STC.
