In 2012, our Ercoupe was rebuilt (see 4 page logbook entry for all the details). When the coupe was rebuilt the outer wing panels were purchased by the owner form a 3rd party, already covered. The logbook entry says they were found to be airworthy and installed.  The Ercoupe was donated to us in October 2024.  The pre-buy IA found that the right rear spar had a crack that was stop drilled and had a doubler riveted as a questionable repair (see photos). Possible resolution include:

• Replacement of the area of the spar with a Univair SA-24-R and patching the fabric
• Replacing the right wing rear spar and recovering that wing
• Replacing the outer right wing with another one and painting to match

Since we don’t have the personnel with the fabric and painting skills needed to correct the repairs, we’ve decided to sell it “As Is”. Our maintenance director believes the current condition is airworthy.So if you are a mechanic, or know of one that will work with you, you can own this beautiful Ercoupe for a much lower price than otherwise.
