The higher monthly costs also put me off at first but you have to remember that with other groups, if something should go wrong with the aircraft or engine needs overhauling etc, then unless the group has a big engine fund, you will have to pay your share. Its a risk that you would not have to think about. I joined the group mainly to fly this but have to admit the PA28 is winning me over
