Yep, here's one of those, Voltaire. The first airplane I ever flew in was an Ercoupe (Isn't that the one where the rudders are connected to the yoke as well as the ailerons?). It was a 'bucket o' bolts' for sure. The pilot was my husband-to-be. He'd recently acquired his license through ROTC at OK State and was so proud of himself. He was going to fly me down to southern OK to meet his family. The plane was a rental at the local airport, the cheapest/hr. Soon found out why. That sucker spouted oil so profusely we had to stop every hour to clean off the windshield! The price was a joke, too. It flew so-o-o slow. In OK, if you don't fly somethin' with a decent airspeed, you can be goin' backward! After all was said and done, he might as well have rented the Cardinal! I ended up marryin' him anyway, but lookin' back, I think it was an omen. ps- Somethin' about that man. When he was flyin' (as the pilot) he would always 'fiddle' with his moustache, most usually pull hairs out one-by-one. Made me NERVOUS AS A CAT! Now I hate flying and I hate moustaches! (Do you have a moustache?) cowgirl
