Nothing... It is a great setup. you can take a plane for as long as
you need as long as you fly it for 1 hour per day you book it. So, if
you want a plane for 2 weeks, you put 14 hours on it... or at least
pay for 14 hours.

You gotta get checked out by a club CFI before you can rent...
additionally, on certain planes, a specific CFI must check you out
before you can rent it.

You do not own part of the planes... You pay your annual dues, rent as
needed, and walk away if you wish...

Are those prices 'wet'.

I wondered that too. This looks like a great setup. What am I missing?

Afterwards a checkout by one of the Club approved CFI's is required for your
final acceptance. Current Club Dues is $23/mo. + $25 Initiation Fee & $20
Key Deposit. ($23 * x Months + $25 + $20) is the total cost to join. The
amount of months is from the current month until next July.

I don't know if the "July" is 05 or 06? Seriously - no clue.

IMHO, cheap, cheap, cheap buy-in. (Do you own a piece of the planes?)

Even the dues on top of the "wet" rental rates seem OK for walk-away prices:
$300/ year fees = an additional:
$3/ hr ...100 hrs flying per year
$6/ hr ...50 hrs flying per year
$12/ hr ....25 hrs flying per year

(More from their site)
* Liberal 1 hour per day cross-country minimums.

* Lowest insurance deductible - 80% paid by the Club
* YOU are named as an Additional Insured on the Club policy - No subrogation

* Most travel and lodging expenses paid in the event of unscheduled
maintenance problems
while away from the home airport.

* We accept other club & FBO checkouts.

Flying club here in Minnesota wants almost $7K buy in, then dues at
$98/month, for 50 people on 4 planes - and it's considered a very good club.
