I have had partners in five airplanes, including my current RV-6A. Each of them was as enjoyable as flying the plane. In my experience, two keys to a successful partnership is to make sure both the usage patterns , and the reason for owning are comparable (fun flying vs purely for business travel). All of them were handshake deals except the current one, and that is only because we put the plane in an LLC for liability reasons and to make shares easier to sell at the request of one of the partners. That actually paid off recently when one of our partners died from cancer. The operating agreement made dealing with his widow a breeze.

I have been in partnerships before, and found them to be useful and enjoyable. Anyway, still looking for a partner... Put a few more hours on the plane, up to about 430 now. No issues, getting better all the time.

i was in a partnership with 2 other people and it was totally fine.
scheduling was done a year in advance. you had the plane from say wed. to following tues. if you wanted to fly and it wasn't your week you made a phone call to the name on the calender. i don't think there was ever a conflict.
and the money i saved!
