I do know that this is just a shot in the dark and chances of finding the person who built this plane is slim to none. I have found a AMA # on the firewall of the plane and I called AMA and they said that that number has been inactive since 02. That number was registured in Texas and thats where the plane is still at so if anybode reconizes this plane from back in the day of when it used to fly then you possibly know who it was that ownd it. Im wanting to know what kitt its from? what size engine it had,I do know that the airplane is a Ercoupe, Im kinda wanting to restore it back to flying but not sure. Any info would be great thanks guys.

Specs that ive gotten from the airplane

wingspan 90"
lenth 58"
weight 19lbs without engine

I can't help but have a suggestion - try searching the N number on the plane - N93578. It's a valid number for a full scale ERCOUPE 415C so maybe the owner of the full scale plane (Frank Hennis is listed as a co-owner) may know more about who built the RCversion.

Good luck!

Scott,

If you have the AMA number then you can go to their [link=http:////www.modelaircraft.org/MembershipQuery.aspx]Membership Verification[/link] page and find out who the owner was. You do not need a full last name for the search to work. Put in the AMA number and the letter 'a' for the last name then try 'b' then 'c', work your way through the alphabet until the name comes up.

Thanks guys that didnt take long, i will give all of this info a good checking over.

Frank and Jean Hennis are the owners of the full scale. Jean may be a relative because Frank is married to Barbara. Gotta love the internet LOL. If nothing else you can write to him now.

Good Luck!

Man thanks a bunch, I looked that info up to and actully tried to look up a phone number to but only found a place wanting to charge to give it to me, a stamp is so much cheaper. I may have some pics developed and send them with a letter, who knows what i might uncover?

Thanks for your info to, I just went and done what you sugested and found that it belonged to a man named LEE FRENCH here in Texas somewhere, now if anybody reconizes that name please help me out, Thank you.

At 90", this could be a Jim Messer Aircoupe.

I flew mine on a G-38.

Come to think of it, I have a new in the box cowl for it sitting around here, someplace.

The best way to find Lee French would be to contact the secretaries for the RC clubs around town. If he went inactive around 2002, then there are probably still membership records of him or at least people in the club who know him.

I believe Tom is correct and Reid Model Products still sell the cowls and plans for the plane.

Looks like there is a Lee French in TX that is a writer. Could be him. He writes some about racing and for some reason there are a lot of guys in both sports/hobbies. Also, I went to Privateeye.com and checked it out. Looks like there are several Lee French in tx but it didn't look intimidating. I don't have the paid account so I couldn't gt his phone number and address but it will tell you the age and city of a person with out paying. Maybe you could get the city and then look it up on whitepages.com. Good luck!
