Theirs is a gap strap that screws to the wing. We had to paint them thats why they didn't get put on in the video.

That gap in the wing...is it there in flight or do you seal it somehow?

There is a gap cover that you screw on to cover the gap

Is this in Oklahoma? Our ercoupe is located at sundance airport in OKC

@@pilotray Just now saw your reply and realized that we had meet at the stillwater flyin a month or 2 ago. I had the polished Ercoupe.

Also mine has the ailerons on it do they have to be removed for the removal and install?

So the ailerons do not need to be removed. You will need to remove the wing to fuselage cover, than disconnect the ailerons push/pull rod has one bolt. Also disconnect Pitot/static hoes, wires for nav and strobes ( I had to remove the rear floor board to gain access to the strobe connector) I don’t remember the socket size you need. I can find out when I go to the hanger this weekend. But a good socket set some extensions, pliers to remove cotter pins, and screw drives to remove the cover. And something or some one to help hold the wing when removing. Good luck on Ercoupe

@@g6rcteam81 On our coups the main bolt was a 15/16in with a 1in nut. Than the rear bolts were 1/2 and nuts. I forgot your going to need a punch to get the main bolts out, if they are stuck.
