Good morning one and all,
Another year has come and gone. If anyone remains interested in pursuing a N85 based flying club with a Citabria type aircraft, please reply as such and we'll see what we can make happen.
The goal will be an actual flying club, not a partnership. As a club we can have up to ten members which brings costs way down. In asking other clubs about size and airplane access, ten shouldn't be a problem. The tendency is for new members fly a lot and then taper off. To keep the plane from being bogged down at the beginning, maybe we can start with 6 and then ramp up to 10, or something like that. FWIW, some of us have other planes so we're as good as part time members.
To make it happen though, we need to get organized and pony up some cash so we can move when a good airplane becomes available and while prices are still depressed from last year's highs. If we were to start with ten people, we might be able to keep the initial $$$ to start below about $7000 each.
If you're still interested, either email me or call, 908 343 1997.
Thanks,
Bart
