Thumbs up

My aircraft is a Jodel DR.200, a four-seat (well... 2+2) taildragger. She can cruise happily at 120mph, or 105-110mph for economy.

There are five of us in the group, each holding an equal share worth £5000. Each of us take turns in having 'priority' for a week, running Wednesday - Tuesday. If it is your week, you are responsible for handling 'bookings', and mediation if there is confliction (ie, you get the priority <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> ... however, the motto of the group is "you first", so it is all very cordial - it just works! We all get on fine. Because the kite is hangared, it needs two or three hands to get it out (there are other planes in the way) - this means that often 2 group members will go off flying together, a) to share the cost, b) to help with ground handling!

The costs are £65 per month and £33 per hour wet.. .She has a full panel with ADF, VOR(loc) and DME. Unfortunately the kit is Cat III, so we can't fly procedures in IMC.

I fly a T-67b FireFly at my local school/club, which costs £80ph tacho (which over-reads too).. .Obviously I got my sums wrong on the original post <img src="confused.gif" border="0"> (which I have since corrected)... It's not 30mins per month, it's 1hr23mins. Sorry <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> . .Still - that isn't much, is it?
