I'm a Boardmember for my FlyingClub, A fellow flying club boardmember has asked about getting a RV-6a for our club. We have 70 members, all shared ownership of 5 planes(4 cessnas & citabria). The C-150 doesn't get many hours, even though it's only $31/hr wet. So it would be sold as seed money.
My questions:
1. Has anyone out there done this with an RV?
2. We carry liability only(everything is paid for) and self insure for hull. Any idea if insurance is available for a large group?, if so how much?
3. what else should the club think about?
I'm a big fan of the RV series. I think RV's are well designed and usually well built. BUT I must admit, I always thought of an RV as a more personal or possible 2-3partnership type plane. I never considered a RV as a good candidate for a large club. I view it as a very high performance plane which requires frequent flying to maintain currency. Our average pilot only logs 21hrs/yr, some log <10 and only a few log more than 50hrs/yr.
Whadda ya think?
