Hello Gustav and welcome to our forums and I'll start by saying that you are doing very well with your English!

 

I have a Microair M760 but have not yet installed it into my aircraft and cannot help you with your problem but there have been discussions about the M760 and some issues with it on these forums in the past so hopefully, someone can help you.

 

Cheers,

 

Dave

Welcome Gustava. Beautiful little plane! In what part of Argentina do you live? Your country doesn't get much attention in Austalia, but we have much in common.

Hi ! I´m from Buenos Aires, and yes we have a lot in common, extended country, our "pampas" must be like your lands hundrer of milles, endless roads, mountain lake yes I know.

 

perhaps our difference are in the history. ( Here came the spanish and in your country arrived de british. ha ha )

 

But the world go around with us into it

 

And we have the extraordinary possibility of have wings and fly around

 

Here I m with my ercoupe.

 

Oh another history, I saw many people from new zeland from here...

 

New Zeland have other famous ercoupe with a perfect history, a pilot who buy it in Amsterdam , Allotted the registration NC94669 for the manufacturers, Engineering Research Corporation, it was immediately transported to the Belgian ERCO agents Intercontine Aeronautics at Airport d'Anvers and registered to them on the 8th August 1947 as OO-EXC.

 

A New Zealander, Harry Newton, who had been flying in Europe, then bought the aircraft as transport for his homeward trip. He flew the Ercoupe, suitably equipped with overload fuel tanks from Antwerp to Auckland, arriving on the 9th October 1947. For many years this held the record for the world's longest low-powered (75hp) flight.

 

The other Ercoupe operate in NZ is Erco 425-D Ercoupe ZK-EXC/2 which after a lengthy career in the USA as N94700 arrived in NZ in 1994 and is currently based at Mt Maunganui.

 

Well I will not bore you more
