1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Hi Polar_Lion... :)

When the first ERCO Ercoupe arrived on the aviation scene they were known as ladies aeroplanes because they had no ruder pedals and it was said they would not SPIN, you would drive them like a car.

We purchased our first ALON Ercoupe with the rudder configuration and it was a great little bugsmasher.
