Willian, Ed, and group, Thank you very much for your words, and of course, as Ed said "Don't try those low-level dramatic maneuvers at home.". This video is not supposed to encourage people to do this type of maneuvers. The intention is just to share with all of you the flight of one of our Coupes down here in Argentina, and as this is a new group (September 18 will be 'the first birthday'), more videos and information about the activity here in Argentina will come. If anyone of you happen to be in Argentina, and want to come to the meeting, please contact me. Ed, I will see what I can do for a high video quality. Thanks again ! Daniel Arditi Ercoupe Argentina Group

One comment for lurkers out there. Don't try those low-level dramatic maneuvers at home. There were several Coupes (and pilots?) lost in the early days of the Ercoupe from overly aggressive low-level maneuvers. ERCO was concerned enough to send out a letter cautioning against dramatic maneuvers at low altitudes. Daniel shows these off in his video but beware - they are dangerous. One little mistake in low-level maneuvers can get you. The stability and quality of camera work makes me think the original video quality is much better than what I saw just now on you-tube. Is there any way a higher video quality could get posted? Ed
