THAT'S WHY I GOT SO EXCITED WHEN A FELLOW PILOT
SENT ME FRED WEICK'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY, TITLED FROM
THE GROUND UP. IT'S A VERY RARE BOOK. HE'S NOW MY
NEW BEST FRIEND.
For those who don't know about Fred Weick, he invented the Ercoupe.
Reading his autobiography can help you understand the historical lineage
of this wonderful little airplane. It can also provide you with useful insights
into how people learned to fly in the early 1920s. One flight training
narrative in particular caught my attention. In it, Fred Weick described
how his friend, Jacobs Eastman, taught himself to fly a single-place
homebuilt airplane-a taildragger, no less.
Having no prior flight experience, Eastman began his self-taught
solo program by asking Fred about the techniques needed to handle a
taildragger on the ground. After several discussions, Eastman began
his cockpit training with taxi sorties at increasing speeds along a grass
runway. Weick stated, "After he got the feel of the plane, he taxied
faster and then a little faster until, during a full-throttle run, he took it
off for just a foot or two and landed, all within the 1,200-foot run."
