I'm in a PA28 group and it works out just fine. No, it's not a particularly sporty aeroplane but as a low time PPL building my hours and experience in a slow and steady way I like it a lot. It's just a nice solid plane with plenty of knobs and whistles to keep me interested for a while yet. Our group is scheduled through the internet on
www.aircraftclubs.com which is a really neat service. I used to be in a group that scheduled by telephone and other informal means, but this is 500% better.
