Hello fellow pilots,
I own an Ercoupe near Austin Texas. Looking for an instrument-rated pilot and above (CFI & CFII would be preferred) to build time with.
I obtained my PPL license in March 2024 and have been studying and building time for IFR.
Since the purchase of the Ercoupe, I've done many safety work on the engine. The plane flies super well and is cheap to operate. Happy to do a 3-5hrs XC flight. I need more simulated instrument time so if you're looking to build time cheap this could work out well for you.
Cost: We'll split the cost of the fuel + $35 an hour for operation costs. Ercoupe burns an average of 5 gallons per hour.
Ercoupe has no rudder pedals and taxi like you drive a car, it's easy to fly and land it. It'll take a few landings to get a better feel for it. It will not stall nor spin so super safe plane to fly.
