<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I’m sure it is different for
each individual. As a guess, anything over $100/month may start making the
majority of prospective members start thinking twice. My point is that $176/month
is probably about as prohibitive as a $1,450 buy-in, so why incur the risk associated
with an overhaul needed before the 12 months is up?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Not only is that risky, but it’s
nearly as prohibitive as the upfront buy-in. $176/month is a whole
different ballgame than $55/month – it’s more than double. If anything
I’d build it into the hourly rate, but that would mean an additional $30/hr for
the first 400 (hopefully) hours. However, that’s very close to rental
rates which might just as easily turn members off.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Just throwing this out there …..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It occurs to me that if $1450 buy-in is the deal killer for
most people (I’m sure it will) – should we risk collecting the DP and the
engine reserve on a monthly basis ? In other words – should we let some
members pay their $1450 over a twelve month period ? That means they pay
$121 per month reserve, $55 per month dues and $60 per hour to fly.
Monthly outlay becomes $176 and hourly rate is $60. Risky if our plane
does not go to TBO or if we use up the remaining 400 hrs in less than a year.

<p class=MsoNormal>If we continued the same numbers in year 2 we would build up
substantial cash for additional equipment. <o:p></o:p></p>
