What should I check when buying a used Ercoupe 415?

On a used Ercoupe 415, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the Ercoupe 415

Aircraft overview

The Ercoupe 415 is a two-seat, all-metal, low-wing light aircraft developed by Engineering and Research Corporation, known as ERCO, in the United States. The Ercoupe design first flew in 1937, and the 415 series entered production before World War II, with large-scale civilian production resuming in 1946. It was conceived as an easy-to-fly personal aircraft, with tricycle landing gear, a twin-tail layout and coordinated flight controls intended to reduce the risk of spins and loss of directional control. For buyers, the Ercoupe 415 matters because it represents one of the most distinctive postwar personal aircraft designs, with simple systems, modest operating costs and a large surviving fleet.

Performance & specifications

Typical Ercoupe 415 performance depends heavily on engine fit, propeller, weight and modifications. Many 415-C aircraft were originally powered by a Continental C-75 engine of 75 hp, while numerous examples have been upgraded to Continental C-85 or, less commonly, Continental O-200 power. A practical cruise is commonly in the 80 to 90 knot range. Usable range is often planned around 250 to 300 nautical miles with reserves, depending on fuel installation and power setting. The 415-C has a gross weight of 1,260 lb, with useful load commonly around 500 lb, although individual aircraft vary. Published service ceiling figures are around 13,000 feet for standard early models, but climb performance is modest by modern standards.

Cabin & avionics

The Ercoupe 415 seats two side by side beneath a sliding canopy, giving good visibility and a compact cockpit feel. The original control system used a single control wheel linked to ailerons and nosewheel steering, with rudder coordination built into the design and no conventional rudder pedals on standard aircraft. Cabin space and baggage capacity are limited, so payload planning is important. Avionics are normally basic VFR rather than integrated glass systems. Typical panels may include a comm radio, transponder, ADS-B Out equipment, portable GPS or compact Garmin-style panel units, depending on owner upgrades.

Buying & value

Used Ercoupe 415 aircraft usually occupy the affordable vintage and light-sport-adjacent segment of the market. Buyers should verify the exact model designation, gross weight history, engine installation and whether any rudder pedal conversion or other STC has been installed. The 415-C is especially relevant to sport pilot buyers when it retains qualifying weight and configuration. Inspection focus should include corrosion in the wing center section and fuselage structure, control system condition and rigging, landing gear, fuel system, canopy condition and completeness of logs. Value is strongly influenced by airframe condition, engine time, originality versus practical upgrades, and the quality of modern radio and ADS-B installations.
