Love your Coupe. I have looked at them, and they seem to have a low useful load. I have a Light sport that has a 616 lb useful load, although your Coupe seems to do just as well at altitude. A Coupe with the 1320 STC might do pretty well for useful load? Do you find Ercoupe fo be easy to fly?

Also, something for you to consider. I have a friend who is moving, from the central valley to just above Camp Pendelton, tucked between I-5 & the beach. He has his plane hangered in Sacramento, and is really struggling to find a place to hanger his plane down where they are moving in the San Clemente area. Any this could be a great forum for one of your channels. We are looking for ideas or suggestions in this regard would be helpful.

Don't forget to lean out the mixture for best rpm in a fixed pitch prop to get as close as you can to making your 160hp [you won't in any case] out of high altitude places like L35. Also dag the brakes and a rolling start is better than a static runup to make progress especially near MTOW. This brought back memories of APV and L35 in warriors and the like for the $100 hamburgers.

I always make sure I am leaned correctly. A rolling start is better than a full power/release brakes roll? I didn't know that, will read, thanks!

Hey I am curious, did you have a hard deck rule? Seemed lower than my Chicken Drop contests up here. ( 200 agl ) I considered a pumpkin event, but we have a real issue here with wildlife getting on the runway, was afraid the debris might attract them. Yours looked fun though. I’ve considered putting a GoPro on one of my chickens. That might be interesting.
@JamesGood Ай бұрын
Haha, yes a GoPro in a chicken head! We have trees right beside the runway, our hard deck was the tree tops. Maybe 100’. Chicken drop is still the best!
@joewilliams4142 Ай бұрын
Aha - I visited about 100’. Surely improves the results. I just don’t want to see a fast plane going down to 100’ while dealing with the unruly chicken. But that one guy almost hit the barrel ! Wow. This year will be my NINTH year. Hope y’all can all come.

Have you read 'Flying the Oregon Trail', by Maurice Brett (ISBN 1-902807-05-7) published in 2000? It is an interesting read about flying across the States retracing the old Oregon Trail. In it he describes the challenges of taking off hot and high in a 1946 Aeronca Champ 65Hp. I undersand that since Maurice's adventures, flying the trail has become a thing.

Two total energy management for takeoff considerations in the mountains, never mentioned in ACS, are the basic level in low ground effect (think soft field) takeoff and down drainage egress. Both capture free kinetic energy, that energy we need not trade precious airspeed for. The nosewheel on the surface is significant friction that works against rapid excelleration. Pitch up just enough to keep it just off. The airplane will fly at a much slower airspeed than Vso, an out of ground effect airspeed, in low ground effect. Well before the rocks, your Cherokee would have flown in low ground effect both eliminating main wheel friction and riding on the downwash from your wing. So practice down at lower DA to pull the airplane off when it will first fly in low ground effect and then work the yoke for/aft a bit to level the fuselage. Acceleration will be much more rapid riding the compressed air like a hovercraft. Accelerate to Vcc before pitching up to cruise climb. High altitude runways are long expecting experienced pilots to use more runway with its free ground effect energy. Finally use this extra maneuvering airspeed, what Wolfgang calls zoom reserve airspeed, to depart over the down drainage egress. Down drainage may be a one way airport, but is generally of greater consideration even than headwind.
@JamesGood Ай бұрын
Thanks, great info! Will try some of that out when I'm next out experimenting in the pattern. I know fast jets use increase angle of attack for braking, I wonder how raising the nose to get the gear off ASAP relates to the increased braking from that extra angle of attack?
@jimmydulin928 Ай бұрын
@@JamesGood Good point about the extra angle of attack. That is why we immediately work the yoke for/aft dynamically and proactively to bracket level in low ground effect immediately after lift off below Vso. By low ground effect I mean six inches for crop dusters and as low as comfortable for others. Vx is an extremely high angle of attack and results in extreme braking. Vy less but Vco or cruise climb is least and we don't even need to pitch up at Vcc if there is no obstruction. We can immediately cruise on down drainage using potential energy of altitude traded for airspeed. When too low to recover from inadvertent stall, airspeed, and not altitude is life. I spent 17,000 hours at 200' AGL or lower crop dusting and patrolling pipelines in the midwest and west. I had eleven engine failures doing that but always had zoom reserve airspeed to maneuver to a landing zone in the very near hemisphere in front of the wing. Altitude is time, but down here airspeed is life. With altitude, of course, some of my six second forced landings could have been worked out.
