True Ownership, Shared Economics
True Ownership, Shared Economics
We operate as an equity-based club, meaning every member is an equal owner of the aircraft. This structure guarantees that everyone has a vested interest in the safety, maintenance, and cleanliness of the RV-12. You are not just renting flight time; you are investing in an asset.
Aviation should not have hidden fees. Our financial structure is designed to cover all fixed and variable costs while keeping your personal flying budget highly predictable.
Equity Buy-In: $4,000
This one-time capital contribution purchases your equal share of the aircraft and club assets. Because this is an equity share, your investment holds value and can be sold if you ever leave the club.
Monthly Dues: $262.65 / month
This fixed monthly rate covers the aircraft's recurring overhead. It ensures the hangar, comprehensive insurance, annual condition inspections, and avionics database updates are always fully funded without surprise assessments.
Hourly Rate: $35.00 / hour (Dry)
You pay only for the time you put on the tach meter. Because the RV-12 operates efficiently on premium auto fuel (MoGas) or 100LL, managing your own fuel out-of-pocket keeps your overall operating costs significantly lower than traditional FBO rentals.
