Since we're on the subject of civilian aircraft this week, in the final video from the 2019 US Scale Masters Championships, we have David C Lloyd's Ercoupe. As a design, the Ercoupe is one that I've seen pretty regularly through the years in competition as it's a very forgiving flyer. This one was built really nicely and had all of the scale features indicative of the full scale airplane. David finished in 2nd place in the advanced category with the model.

@Thercgeek 4 года назад

Wait, this is a model of your airplane??! I bet the owner of the model would love to talk to you!

@@Thercgeek here is the link to one of the articles on my airplane. www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2015/august/pilot/f_ercoupe. The builder did a great job!

I checked out your Ercoupe. What a beautiful ship! I no longer have a medical so now I just appreciate the aircraft. Yours is a fine example.

The kit from Balsa USA (1/3rd Ercoupe) is about $1,200 for a box of wood and plans. Engine you're looking at anywhere from around $300 to over $1,000 depending on how you power the airplane. Probably looking at at least $600 in radio gear if you don't cheap out on servos. At least $200 in additional building/finishing supplies. So building one of these is probably around a $2,000 project, for a start. Not counting the hours that go into the actual construction.

I had an old gentleman walk up to me at the flying field one afternoon..he asked a few questions about my airplanes and I invited him to come back for some lessons with the buddy box . Next thing I knew he asked me if I would like an Ercoupe. I did know what to say.. He said I live just up the road and it is in my back yard , wings were removed , but it was all there ! He said i cant fly any longer so i gave up my tie-down and had it brought to my house . At the time he retired from flying he said he just couldn't bare the thought of saying goodbye to his little sweetheart. Turned out i had fueled the polished beauty about 10 years prior for him at a nearby airport. I couldn't afford to get into full scale at that time & I never did find a home for it. 🙁

Oh wow, that’s crazy! Hopefully she found a good home.

@west6008 4 года назад

You fly at double scale speed, why so much power?

@Thercgeek 4 года назад

It happens. 😉. Really depends on the pilot and how he presents the airplane.

HI!!!, its been a while, how have you been?, reason why I am writing this comment is because I was going through my SD card on my camera and found a bunch of videos of war birds and classics 2019, your in almost everyone, when I was flying my mustang, you were landing your red F4 Phantom on 8 cells, I was next to you with my camera filming that J2M, I'll keep searching but most of the footage is shakey and blurry so I won't upload it but I can send it to you if you'd like

@Thercgeek 4 года назад

Very cool! I’m bummed that Warbirds and classics was cancelled this year. It’s one of my favorite events. I’d love to see what you got! Shoot me an email through my contact form: thercgeek.com/contact
