Hello
Itd be great to see photos, history, stories etc on your aircraft that you own and or rent!

Ill start off with mine

Its a 1946 Ercoupe we restored 2 years ago
It has the 100hp O-200, cruise speed of 100mph makes it a great time builder:)
I received my Private in it last month and my Dads now training for his PPL in the coupe also

That's the coolest/prettiest ercoup I've ever seen. Nicely done!

Here's my baby; she's not the sexiest, or the most exciting, but she's a hell of a hauler and traveling machine.

76 Piper Lance. Got her in October, she's taken us to MO, IN, KY, and TX so far. I need to get some in- flight glamour shots like you guys have.

Thank you!
Yours looks like a great cross country airplane with plenty of room!
What cruise speeds do you get?

145-160 kts depending on altitude and how hard i want to push. I usually cruise 150 @ 65% power and 15 gph.
 
Screw it. The photo uploading on this site is the worst I’ve seen by a VERY large margin. Not worth the time.

I flew a 1980 Sundowner for nine years. Sold the Sundowner and bought a Debonair. That new love affair lasted 15 hours, when she tried to kill me. o_O Sucked an exhaust valve at 300' on climb out and power plant folded like a cheap beach chair.

We decided to still fly and purchased our 1976 Commander 112A.

I got tired of hearing my brother rave about how much he loved his Husky, so I finally got one in 2019. As a total coincidence, it matched his airplane and after 150 hours, I’m as thrilled with the dog as he is with his. We managed to get together for a family portrait just after I bought it.

If you are trying to down load pic from iPhone you most likely will need to resize it.
 
Ellen's Champ...71 7ECA restored in 2000 with new (factory) all-metal wings. She says it's the antidote for the 'Bank Angle!' call-outs in her work Bravo. Looking for a decent pic of the R182.....

Got one.... 1986 model...One of the last half-dozen R182's built. Ex-FBI a/c...logs show serviced in Puerto Rico :) The pic was a by-chance thing... taken by a friend with his iphone.

Looks awesome! I always thought the Ercoupe was a cool plane. That and the Navion. Does yours have the original design with the you-can't-spin-this-rudder-linkage-aileron-design?
