The Forney Aircraft Manufacturing Co. of Colorado bought the manufacturing rights to the Erco Model 415 Ercoupe from Vest Aircraft in 1955 and proceeded to build the F-1 which had a redesigned engine cowling and an improved canopy. They also built the F-1A(50 built) which featured a number of improvements including a new nosewheel leg.
