As I said - I wasn't there so I'm not going to say what it was or wasn't - from the pilot, he pulled power in suddenly in an attempt to transition to forward flight. Maybe he had a tight grip as well.
Anyway the key thing about the sharing scheme is that it's explicitly different to "owning" a quarter or whatever of the aircraft, which means it's low investment (about £5k) and substantially less per hour than Aucky indicated.
So there's a monthly subscription and £182 per hour wet. Obviously that's subject to change as fuel prices change.
What this means is people need to play ball and pay their bills on time as we have to manage the cash-flow without huge cash reserves.
