$500 at the door.. and $450/yr to stay with no rental fees. So you're paying $450 to fly whether you fly or not.. the low time flyers are subsidizing the high time flyers.. The eternal discussion. The opposite point of view ist that a glider's value doesn't depend on flight time, it looses value each year whether it is flown or not. So, with hourly rates, the high timers subsidy the low timers. In many groups, this problem is permanently discussed. Back to the topic: We pay about $4.40 per tow minute on a 180 hp Husky (airborne time of the tow plane counts). With this rate, after deducting all costs, we make a little profit for the club.
