Hi Brentc,
I wasn't suggesting it be used as a trainer, I was suggesting that it would be a way of having a great aircraft to fly in at 1/4 of the cost ie: sread between 4 shareholders all only having to raise 25K each and only paying 1/4 ofthe maintenance costs etc, which most banks would lend as a personal loan as long as their day job could cover the cost of the loan. It could be a J170 @79K or LSA @59K...
I used the 230c only because that is what I would like .... Is this getting confusing??? Anyway like I said I am no expert and it was only my view on having an aircraft without having an unlimited amount of beginners flying it. You will be able to get to know all 3 others and share the available flying time with a roster or whatever it takes to keep all 4 smiling ....
