ERCOUPE
We have made some small modifications to our Ercoupe. Please schedule a time
with an instructor to get familiarized with the new changes.
WINTER
FLYING
Winter flying can be very comfortable and productive if you prepare for it.
This is Wisconsin, so it’s cold, get over it. Preheat not only the engine, but
also the cockpit. This will warm up the radios, instruments, and also the
interior. Throw a couple of blankets over the engine cowling and propeller,
this will trap more heat. Many pilots forget about their battery. Flying
regularly will prevent a dead battery, but think about using a trickle charger
for the winter. Fix leaks with new door seals and tape over the vents. Also,
change to the correct weight oil and use the proper winter kit for your
aircraft.
CHECK IT OUT
We
encourage all pilots to check out what is going on with the aviation
organizations in the state of Wisconsin. WATA, WAMA, WBAA are a couple acronyms
you might recognize. These organizations have your interests as general
aviation pilots in mind. Please take an active interest the organizations that
are fighting for your right to fly!
