This is a 1959 Forney F-1 (yes, it was built by the Forney welder people!).
It came from Boulder City, Nv. Ray Woods (an early Montana aviation pioneer who ranched north of Great
Falls, and was the original Ercoupe dealer in Montana) purchased it and I flew it back for him from Nevada to
Woods' Ranch. When Ray passed away I bought the plane and kept it at the airport in Great Falls. I learned
to fly in an Ercoupe (a 1946 moder C with rudder pedals and a C-85) and enjoyed the Forney. It had no rudder
pedals, and a 90 h.p. engine. Unfortunately, it was also unable to land at Flying M Paints, so sold it to a fellow from
Illinois.
