Of our Jodel 1050 group of 6, 4 have been in it for over 12 years. I fly over half the annual hours. (96 in 2009). I joined in January1990, and am not the longest lasting member. We've got one new member who is just completing his NPPL. then he'll do his tailwheel convertion. He's had a few passenger flights in the Jodel. He knows he will have to do/pay whatever the insurance co. demand to fly as P i/c. Usually they require some number of hours to be accompanied by another group member. We've never had a very low hours member before.
