$80 a month.
BTW, why break out the insurance from the monthly? The actual monthly is
$80+$24. Why not just call it $104?
No, the actual monthly is $82. The insurance is once a year.
Any why break out "Lance membership" for a higher monthly? I'd guess that
this is to avoid having "low end" members pay the fixed costs for the "high
end" planes, right?
Yes. This year we were forced to go to a "named pilot" policy on the
Lance. Since the insurance company only wanted 8 people on the list, but
15 people wanted to fly it and a bunch more had thoughts about eventually
moving up to it, we put that levy on the Lance pilots so that 7 people
would drop off the list of "wanting to fly the Lance", just to be fair to
the rest of the club. Personally, I pay the fee, and I wouldn't think it
fair that the rest of the club pays for the Lance's fixed costs if they
couldn't fly it.
