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.
