1946 ERCO / Forney / Alon Ercoupe 415
| Overview | |||||||
|
You will need to bring a trailer in order to take home this 1946 Ercoupe project! It had been in the donor’s family for 35 years. The project started as a routine refurbishment and recovering of the outboard wing panels in 2009 and expanded to rebuild the top end of the engine (valve guides, etc), rebuild the nose struct, redo the interior and make a very nice total refurbishment of the instrument panel. A new windshield and sunshade were purchased (not yet installed). Unfortunately, the donor move from MI to SC and other stuff took priority over finishing. The donors made the tough decision that it was time to dionate their Ercoupe so we could find a new caretaker that would get it flying again! Only 1530 TT and 550 SMOH (Borescope photos linked to the webpage). The panel has a radio, transponder, intercom and Attitude Indicator. Most everything you need is included with the project, even the Nuvite aluminum polish (and instructions) so you can make it sparkle, just like it did 20 years ago! Purchasing a plane from Wings of Hope helps to fund our aerial medical transportation, both domestic and international. |
