The trouble with you is that you like lecturing people so much on these forums you don't follow your own advice. For example, you have never once since I've been on this forum, posted an aviation related post <snip>

Martin is an interesting newsgroup character. He never, EVER posts about aviation, yet he's always here, on a piloting forum. It's kinda weird, actually, although he can be a decent guy. Just don't bring up the U.S., and everything is fine.

It is strange. He's injected himself in on me before; always with some "advice" he thinks I need. He might well even be right but I don't play well with people who do this kind of thing, but no big deal. :-)


And now, for some NAC: BTW, Dudley -- Mary and I flew the 'Coupe to nearby Muscatine this evening, as a flight of two with friends. It was a gorgeous summer's eve, flying (with the top down, natch) low and slow over the most stunning emerald-green landscape you can imagine. After a great dinner we landed back in Iowa City a few minutes past sunset, with the biggest moon rising you can imagine.

Total cost: 3.9 gallons of unleaded mogas. Gotta love it!

I tell ya, we've never had so much fun as we've had with this little Ercoupe...

The old Coupe is a wonderful airplane as I'm sure you have already learned. It chugs along quite cheerfully on a dime. I have a few hours in one that we had on the field. It was a lot of fun, sort of like a car. I'd roll down the side window and just feel the breezes. We flew it off a hard surface but it behaved a bit better on the grass.
The one thing I recall more than anything else was how low the nose was when we had to prop it once in a while.

Looks like your son has taken to the bird with no trouble at all. Glad you guys are getting some relief from the gas prices :-))
