Group flying opportunities & questions
#1849742
My current syndicate (Zenair 601ULS microlight) is disbanding, so I'm hoping to form a new group around a similar aircraft, based at either:
    Compton Abbas
    Newton Peveril
    Bournemouth
    Spire View (Coombe Bisset - currently full)

Currently looking for interested people who are serious about joining. The aims will be:
    Share price of £4-9k, depending on aircraft/number of members
    Ideally 3-7 members
    Non profit - keeping hourly costs as low as practically possible. (As a guide, I currently pay £33/m hangar + £10/h dry + 13l/h mogas, but expect costs will be higher with fewer members/thirstier a/c etc.) For a 2 seater, my max budget would be ~£80/m + £50 wet.
    Touring capable aircraft (min90kts cruise, i.e 100bhp+ rotax)
    Preferably microlight, but would consider Group A if the right people & aircraft came along. Would even consider a cheap-to-run 4 seater, though obviously this would be much dearer.
    Ideally low wing (another Zenair, 100bhp eurostar or similar)
    Friendly group, happy to go exploring together, chip in with maintenance and upkeep
    Hoping to act quickly to get flying this summer
