If you're going to debate on an open forum, don't be abusive ! All my screws are greased and wire locked, so no problem there.

The going rate for hiring a club single seems to be anywhere from £150 - 200 per hour.

I can hardly even guess at a rate for group owned singles of the same type as a club. It depends naturally on how many in the group and where you're based but, I imagine a group member will pay at least about £120 the a/c being a PA28/C172 or suchlike.

I fly a Permit STOL a/c which does everything that the a/c mentioned above do but, a little slower. The costs are shared three ways. The costs include fuel (mogas) Tiedown, insurance, maintenance, Permit renewal, engine fund, fuel costs by car to and from the airfield (120 mile round trip).

Without giving you chapter and verse on the breakdown of costs - I can, nothing is hidden, I fly for about £50 per hour. That's it.

And that is why there is a steady migration from certified a/c to Permit.
