So the reminiscence brought on by finding Border Pilot has me trying to remember something: I'm looking for the name of a metal H-tailed single engine tricycle landing gear low-wing plane. It might have been the Europa or similar, built around the late '40s, I think one of its quirks was that it just had a castoring nose wheel. Ringing any bells?

probably the Ercoupe...postwar, two seat side-by-side, unusual in that it had linked ailerons and rudders and therefore no rudder pedals, though some were modified to have them later, as I recall.mrscienc@southwind.net (jim hammer)

Yep! That's the one! Thanks. A Google search on "Ercoupe" has all sorts of pictures.
