I took the Ercoupe to the park today for some trimming. I had to add some nose weight, used a 7 inch Peck Prop and used Peck wheels. I also trimmed it with 2 loops of 1/8 rubber. Total weight is around 36 to 38 grams. I only gave her a few turns by hand and she flew nice and slow with the big prop. Next I will add a turn tab and take her to the flying field. I was by myself so the only pictures I took were before I trimmed her.

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.
