Not every model of the Ercoupe is sport pilot legal. As well the Ercoupe's have a very bad corrosion problem, so if anyone is ever thinking of buying one a pre-purchase inspection by someone who really knows the make is mandatory.
I know of one where two young kids purchased one, flew it for 6 months then did an annual on it. The IA found corrosion so bad that it grounded the plane and the repairs were more than they had paid for the entire plane.
