I would like to see the removal of the ridiculous rule that only 6 people can group a particular aircraft. If Sherburn need to get more money through the club, surely an increase in group members which in turn would mean increased membership for the club, increased fuel sales and increased club house purchases would be a good way to go about it. The future of general aviation lies with Rotax powered VLA aircraft. Hence why sherburn bought 2! Should they not be encouraging the basing of such aircraft at the airfield. An AT-3 with 10 members would have very reasonable monthly and wet rate costs. Plus with 10, even 8 members in the group it would allow more people the chance to purchase a share at a reduced cost and a decent monthly and hourly rate.
