Recently my Ercoupe's C-85 lost oil prime which resulted in no oil pressure on start-up. Unfortunately, it ran for around 15-minutes - including a run-up, before being noticed. Long story, it was a "friend" warming up plane for oil change and did not notice.

Hello, I own a 1946 Ercoupe with rudder pedals. I am currently a student pilot and was wondering when it come time for my check ride what are the requirements for my aircraft (ie. required equipment etc...)?

Has anyone ever put bicycle grips on there yoke as a alternative to the slip on grips
If you have please post pictures and tips
It would go on our new Ercoupe
we are looking at a ercoupe for sale, the paint is bad and we would want to strip the paint and polish it.
how hard would it be to strip the paint and then polish it?

Any info helps
Thank you!
I currently have 20 hours of training in the Cherokee
Do you think it’s would bad to finish my training in a ercoupe since it doesn’t have rudder pedals
