I finished the Ercoupe and she is ready for flight. Those are not the wheels and prop I will be using. This has been a fun and challenging build. The fuselage has a lot of curves so it was tough to cover, but I covered in many small sections to avoid any wrinkles. The hardest part was the fillets and I am not happy with them. If I had it to do over, I would have left them off unless I painted the plane. Everything blends in pretty good except for the the fillets, they stick out like a sore thumb. Oh well, too late now. Total weight is 28 grams. Covering is Esaki applied with diluted Elmers glue and coated with Nitrate Dope.

Tail surfaces are removeable for storage and transportation. Small sections of square toothpick attached to the vertical and horizontal stab at A. Slots built into the tail of the fuselage to accept the toothpick stubs.

Fuselage is almost complete. Extra sheeting at the nose and around the wing slot, as these areas are prone to damage in hard and unexpected impacts.

The masked canopy is ready to be glued in place. Then the paint shop takes over.

The tail wheel, the arial mast, the exhausts are finished and the canopy is masked.
