Reliability and Clubs...
I've been renting from the local flying club.
In the last five flights I've had 4 issues /maintance problems. Find out who the "maintenance officer" for the club is, and let him know the facts of life. If there is no "maintenance officer", leave the club. If the club is pinching pennies on maintenance, leave the club. If you don't find out what went wrong with the plane that lost power, leave the club. There are plenty of rental birds in the fleet -- there's no need to put up with bad maintenance. As for buying, I can heartily recommend it. Knowing who flew the plane last, and having everything in the plane PRECISELY the way you left it (and always leave it) is worth all the headaches, IMHO. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
