I think this still covers the basics, although you'll have to factor in the increase in fuel price since last year...

You might also be able to offset your group running costs if you make the aircraft available for hire and commercial training, but this can take a bit of management effort and obviously reduces the availability.

From a competiton perspective, trying to have more than two pilots share an aircraft at the same level in a competition becomes problematic - partly because as a competitor you don't want to be rushing to about to get the pilots swapped over in a timely manner, and also from the organisation point of view juggling the flying order can become difficult.
