Scott,

 

It should be obvious that LOBO is not going to get rich off of $40/y= r per member. This rate should be viewed as a great rate for a couple of reaso= ns:

 

1. The tremendous amount of information with regard to building the various models of Lancairs, the depth of aviation experience in aerodynamics= and pilotage of our Lancairs, and the knowledge base of regulations from tho= se who served in regulatory bodies. 

 

2. All of the above plus the commitment of each of us to become bett= er pilots whether through proficiency training or increasing our ratings/knowle= dge base enables such a body as LOBO to better represent us as whole whether its= for insurance rates or for potential FAA governance. =

 

In my opinion, for the cost of 7 gallons or a half hour of flying pe= r year we are getting a great deal. 

 

In sum; you won't be a better pilot because you joined LOBO but beca= use you made a comittment to be a better pilot by learning from others and takin= g the step to go beyond the status quo. 

 

I can't tell you how many pilots that I have talked to that just go bombing through MOAs and other high density traffic areas squawking 1200 because they can without talking to anyone. Just because you can doesn't mea= n it's smarter. 

 

It's fun to fly VFR but having the ability and knowledge to fly IFR i= n your back pocket benefits you and everyone in your plane and the airspace around you. 

 

George

Dico,
That's a good point.   That's one reason we would like to get as m= any Lancair
pilots on the LML and into LOBO as possible.    It's largely a word of mouth
process to get let people know about these two resources.  Getting= the word

situation.  
LOBO membership is $40 at www.lancairowners.com.
(Marv would love contributions to keep the LML site going too!)
