Fred Weick Designer or the Ercoupe

The H tail gets the rudders out of the slipstream of the prop, thus reducing the amount of correction you need to have when taking off at full power.

The Ercoupe was first manufactured in 1939.

The Ercoupe is a 2-seat airplane that was designed by Fred E. Weick for ERCO (Engineering Research Corporation).

Normally, an Ercoupe can fly in the range of 100-120 mph.


The Ercoupe was one of the first general aviation aircraft with a tricycle gear.
