I installed Alpha Aviation spacers on my 415C.
They come with 2 spacers per side thus allowing 2 different height adjustments
depending upon whether one installs one or two spacers per side. Using one
spacer per side my tail height went from 65" to 72". Using a second spacer
would have been way above the recommended 75" height. At 72" my Ercoupe
wants to stay on the ground where previously it wanted to fly prematurely.
I installed them during Annual with the wings removed. Extremely simple install. Well worth getting.

Has anyone used the Oleo Spacer Kits from Alpha Aviation to raise the tail height on their Ercoupe? If so what were the results? The tail on my Ercoupe is 4 to 5 inches low. Landing gear is original, no oversize tires and no double nose fork.
