This was a fast easy build, I was home the last couple of days sick, so I had time to build. As you can see this is a stock build with the supplied wood and no modifications. This is a little on the heavy side at 17 grams, but should still fly pretty good. I will cover with Esaki yellow and blue paper. I will replace the prop and wheels with a Peck prop and wheels.

One side is built, I will slide this under the wax paper and build the second on top. I pre shape the top longeron by soaking in water/ammonia mixture. If I did not do this, the top longeron could pull the fuselage out of alignment.

The parts are like a typical die crushed kit from back in the day. I sanded the backside and cut the parts out with an Xacto Knife.

I took the Ercoupe to the park today for some trimming. I had to add some nose weight, used a 7 inch Peck Prop and used Peck wheels. I also trimmed it with 2 loops of 1/8 rubber. Total weight is around 36 to 38 grams. I only gave her a few turns by hand and she flew nice and slow with the big prop. Next I will add a turn tab and take her to the flying field. I was by myself so the only pictures I took were before I trimmed her.
