Form a flying club and lease back the aircraft to the club.
Be advised, you insurance cost will at minimum, double.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I bought my Ercoupe a few years ago from a 'club'. There were 6 owners
originally in that club and I purchased it from the remaining owner. I'll
chat with him to see what they did in that club for insurance, 'rental',
maintenance, hangar rent, etc., to get some ideas if I want to club out my
plane, again.

My insurance policy states that any current pilot can fly my aircraft with
my permission. I'd like to find out the options of lending (and charging?)
my plane to friends without having to get additional rental or club
insurance. Both friends (my cousin with CFI/ATP and the Sport Pilot friend)
said they don't want, or need, to 'rent' my plane very often so I doubt that
they would want to join a flying club, but I'll ask them.
