formed the other group comprised of wonderfully nice, extremely
experienced experts to be sure. no resources but excellent people as
best i can tell.

just my opinion but it seems that if the second group is wildly
successful then the first group will not be able to afford to keep up
the tech resources which would be a huge loss for cessna owners
worldwide. i don't really see that happening as we have a less than 500
person free sign-up group on one hand and a fee paid membership of
many, many thousands on the other.

Never heard of that and the only other group I can think of is the
Cessna Owner Organization. I belonged to that for a year. Talk about
an empty suit, there's nothing there whatsoever, even the magazine sucked.
