cults3d

The ERCO Ercoupe is a general aviation aircraft from a time when flying was immensely popular. Advertised as “the world’s safest plane”, the Ercoupe had great visibility, resistance to spins, and gentle handling & control characteristics intended to make it easy for almost anyone to fly. Today – more than 70 years after its first flight – the Ercoupe is still unique and interesting enough to maintain a devoted following. And to become a 3D printed R/C model!
