    That's a good thing as it doesn't have the rudder and rudder control pedals capable of recovering from a spin, right?
    About 1/2 of them do. Mine doesn’t. The ones with pedals are not as effective as normal aircraft but are also not needed. This gives more leg room in the cockpit. Fun to point the nose at the sky and not stall, only mush.

    Piper Warriors also won't go into a deep stall. It will just nose down and recover even when the yoke is held back to the stops. It just flutters down like a leaf.

    Near the big river.
    Flew both the Tomahawk and the Warrior years ago. Never liked the Tomahawk, seems the tail was not very effective below a certain speed. Felt "mushy" when taking off and landing.

    Flew the Warrior a lot. Cost more to fly but went faster so the cost was a wash.

    If overloaded the Ercoupe will stall but recovers immediately. If not overloaded it doesn’t even stall but just mushes nose up. It’s a weird feeling.
