pete_b Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Talking of group ownership, how many of you would be interested in the possibility of renting a motor and wing for an hour or two or all day as and when you wanted to?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibbio Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I think its a good idea as a lot of pilots dont get to fly often and dont really get there value in the gear they buy. If it had been available to do when i started i would have probably done that and not bought all the gear.... obviously dependant on cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 This would be a great alternative for those that didn't want to be involved in a syndicate. I would be up for it as it would mean I could really get some hours in before I took the plunge and brought my own kit. (obviously once I have some PMC training sorted!) Tj.

bathboy Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Definitely yes. Shared ownership works for gliding clubs and many other sports. Cost important, but personally far more important is hiring a familiar 'feel' (safer) motor. e.g. my preference for RH or LH throttle and/or torque. Low or High hangpoints. Rather that buy a stock of hire motors. If existing owners' have gaps in usage (family time), maybe they would 'share' their motor when not using it? Not simple, but possible?
