![]() ![]() Owners seem to love their Ercoupes for a variety of reasons, including ramp appeal. We think it’s overlooked by potential buyers who don’t understand its capabilities. These days, by nature of its design, the Ercoupe doesn’t come across as having an abundance of testosterone, so what may be the funkiest two-place airplane from the 1940s is a bit of a sleeper on the used market. Better yet, an Ercoupe can handle a big crosswind-and we’re talking a breeze with twice the velocity that can be dealt with by almost any other airplane. This contributed to more speed than most of its counterparts had. It’s really the first successful production GA airplane that had a nosewheel, plus a fully cowled engine. Nearly 82 years later, owners still appreciate the Ercoupe’s intended design as an exceptionally safe airplane that’s resistant to stalls and spins.īut there’s more bragging rights. Shopping the market for a fun, reasonably affordable and easy-to-fly two-placer? Add the Ercoupe to the list of potential candidates. Later Ercoupes fit the legacy light sport category, making them a worthy choice for aging pilots facing the insurance crunch.
