The owner has been great in customizing. And it's not very expensive.

Has anyone compared this to schedulemaster.com? My club uses that, but I've
seen a little of myfbo too as a local FBO uses it. I don't know either
well enough to compare, though.

There appears to be a "unbiased" comparison at
http://myfbo.com/myfbo/comparison.htm
ScheduleMaster is "Online System S". Actually, ScheduleMaster has some
new features that aren't on that list.

One thing I'd have to investigate before we considered moving to myfbo
from ScheduleMaster is how easy it is to use from a touch tone phone. Our
members do a lot of that.

For what it's worth, our club uses Yahoo Calendar for aircraft
scheduling. Each plane has a username (its tail number) and a
password. Members sign into the Yahoo calendar function with the
aircraft ID and reserve and cancel time that way.

Not a good idea for a large membership with a lot of churn, but for
us, with eleven members, two planes, and a fairly high price to buy
in, it works fine.
