tacpot,

You would be as well trying to get 20 in your group, putting your hourly rate upto £30-£35 an hour and instead of each member having the plane for a week, have a proper booking diary system.

We have 1hour 30 min slots from 09:00, when the airfield opens, until last landings.

During the week Mon - Friday, we are aloud to book the plane all day if we wish and that counts as one booking. We can have 2 advanced week bookings, ie book it for all day Monday and Tues

At weekends, in summer we are able to book 2 slots together, ie 09:00 -12:00, or 10:30 - 13:30, or 12:00 - 15:00 and so on. During winter we reduce that down to 1 slot because of less daylight and some members in the group work 9-5 Mon - Fri and are only able to fly at weekends.

Cannot see the point of having a plane and not having it flying, bringing money into the group to pay for it self.

Even though the is 20 in our group, I manage to clock up the most hours in it last year 81 hours I think it was.

Sorry for any spelling errors <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
