Although = I'm no longer on the board of LOBO, and cannot speak officially for = LOBO, I can say that being on the board briefly only gave me more = appreciation for the founders of LOBO and all they do. Each of them = puts in many hundreds of hours per year on your behalf. For those that are not aware, here are some of the activities of LOBO: - created a comprehensive training syllabus and assisted instructors to = be able to deliver that syllabus. - provided a newsletter with useful articles - lobbied with the FAA on several initiatives including the current = second pilot initiative - lobbied with the insurance industry to maintain and improve = availability of coverage to Lancair owners - maintained relationships with EAA, NTSB - reached out to new owners to help them get connected with available = resources, and answer questions - organized the annual Oshkosh dinner event - organized the annual "Landing" gathering - provided ground school at the "Landing" - organized the 2014 event in Mobile, AL at Continental headquarters - answers numerous phone calls and emails you never see - other stuff I've forgotten that hopefully someone else will add to = this thread. Expenses for doing all of the above have largely been born by the LOBO = board members themselves.=20 A couple expenses you should consider carefully: 1) your annual = insurance premium 2) the resale value of your aircraft. Both of these = would improve dramatically if the Lancair safety record were = correspondingly improved. LOBO was founded to improve safety. It = needs the best efforts of all its members toward that end, and yes it's = going to take some money. However, if I were to save $3000 in one year = on my insurance premium, that would pay my LOBO dues for 60 years. = Seems like a worthwhile investment to me. I hope all will consider joining LOBO, giving some extra money, and, = more importantly, helping out.
