About
We are looking to start a flying club that uses a Sonex aircraft. The idea is to charge a fee to join of $495 and a monthly membership fee of $395. Beyond that members are expected to pay for the fuel that they use. We want to get away from the hourly rental rates and bring down barriers to fly. This will be a non-equity club. Looking for pilots that want to make friends and join a flying club that's different than those out there.
