Sorry it took so long for me to reply. I put about 7 hours of flight time in with an instructor before it had to go down for its annual and upgrades in November. Been dealing with some delays since then, but here's what I'm planning to get done
  • Thorough annual, and fixing a bunch of small things
  • Things that will make my life easier
    • Electric starter STC
    • Extended baggage compartment STC
    • Moving the master switch
    • Thumb screws on cowling (there's a proper name for the thumb screws that I've forgotten)
  • Avionics upgrades
    • Dynon D3
    • AR4201 Radio
    • Appareo Stratus ESG ADSB transponder
  • Modernization things
    • USB ports
    • running some USB cables behind the panel for the D3 and Ipad
One note is that I am looking for an avionics shop in the VA-DC-MD area to do the radio and transponder installs (I already have the units), so suggestions would be appreciated

Some future upgrades
  • Shoulder seat belt STC
  • EarthX Battery STC (when it becomes available)

My hope is I'm able to get back in the air by March!

Eric how are you and your flying Machine doing? Hope to hear how things are going between the two of you. Please write a short article for Coupe Capers. I for one am very interested in your adventures.

welcome to EOC! When I lived in Ft Myers, Fla in the '70s at Page Field a guy had his Coupe in covered tie down. He could pull in on one side and taxi out the other side. He had I chain lift to help into and out of his Coupe. That love of flying to me! Let us know how you are doing!!!

Hey everyone, excited to be a new member! I just bought N93687 and am looking forward to the amazing journeys ahead of me. I was fortunate enough for this one to have gone on the market only 100 miles away from me, and since I don't need hand controls to fly Ercoupes this is an ideal setup for me.

After a little avionics update and baggage compartment STC, she'll be ready to go!
