				Not an stc, but ironically someone is selling original instructions for the ski installation on ebay. Type in ercoupe on the search and it will show up.

				The other plane has a Rotax.  The 0 200 is in the Ercoupe but is in need of a prop.  Thanks

				I don't know if they are legal or not, but I have a set of 1500's that came with my airplane when I bought it in BC.  I have never installed them as I have another airplane that is better on skis.  Also, I am in need of a 69/48 McCaully prop if anyone has one for sale

				Thank you very much Doug!  I will check that out and thank you very much for your time!
I was told by my mechanic that an STC is required but otherwise I am unsure of the legality for the STC or not.

				There are photos on the interweb of a 415-C, C-FBNU, on skis. The "Airport-Data" site has a good wintertime image that shows all 3 skis pretty well.  The aircraft is based in Orangeville Ontario and is still on the Transport Canada civil aircraft registry. The plane is in the Owner Maintenance category and the owner's name & address are on the TC site (Google "CCAR Web - Quick search"). I don't have any direct knowledge of the plane or owner but this might be a start. Good luck!
Added note: is an STC even needed? Skis are item 203 on the A-718 type certificate, "eligible on all models", so long as there's a minimum 9-inch ground clearance for the prop. The Federal A-1500 skis are mentioned specifically. Max weight 1500 lbs. Maybe someone on the forum with more legal smarts could help out with this one?
