ErcoupeTV! I fly a 1948 vintage Ercoupe from Nevada County Airport in Northern California. I create videos that take you along for a ride in the aircraft, enjoying the classic aircraft that the Ercoupe is, and the beautiful Northern California area scenery. Please let me know if there is anything specific you'd like to see. Thanks for watching!

    I always enjoy your videos and look forward to them. Was hoping that I might run into you at the EOC Convention in Ottawa, KS this year. I drove over and visited during the convention. I still own my 172 but there is just something about Fred Weick’s creation that keeps me wanting one.

    Reminded me of flying an Ercoupe in the 80's. You have to consider your route to match the slow climb performance, and lots of time to reach your destination.

    I was going to land there in 2022, in the Maule, but only made it as far as the Evergreen Museum. Heard about a 50th anniversary thing about "American Graffiti" at Petaluma and changed plans, A nice change from southern California and experienced actual Oregon weather.

    Hey John. They had not been done for many years. I did them a month after this video, new seals, donuts, 5606 oil. There's no gas in the oleos on the Ercoupe.

Thunderstorms and hail here in eastern Washington so this was a great and relaxing evening watch as I sipped my hot chocolate. What editing program due you use to edit the videos so seamlessly? Thanks.

    Hey there James this is Rj the Rc Pilot that met you and your co-pilot at the Malin Airport today during your quest for petrol for the Erocoupe i wanted to ask you it you knew Mark from Skywagon University KZread Channel since he lives in your area and is a Brit as well as an amazingly pilot well educated in the world of Cessna.s? Mark knows more about cessna planes than the people who run cessna Lol

    this plane has open dome roof so does that mean they're not allowed to go very high up?

  • @JamesGood
    @JamesGoodАй бұрын

    Hello. It's more limited by engine power (only 100HP, less than most cars these days), which limits its altitude to about 12,000 feet. It's cold up there, and you can close all the 'roof' with glass, the panels slide around and cover it all in. It's a good design! It's very nice to fly with the windows open.
