Nothing wrong with sharing a plane.its done all the time.Gliding
syndicates arequite usual.Boaters too.
Keep it simple. Everyone put in the same amount. Agree who can fly on
what day at the beginning of the season.
Best syndicate I was ever in was an Olympia 2. There were 12 of us and
we each put in =A3100. We were all at the same stage of training, just
gone solo so it was unlikely that one person was a good enough pilot to
fly much longer than anyone else.We all paid equally for insurance, C of
A and other running costs etc although some members would rather do the
actual work and trade that off against their share of the cost. Not
difficult with a bit of goodwill.
The best rule was that if you moved on, resigned or whatever, you left
your share behind.. People who left were down =A3100 which was not
really enough to get too upset about, and the ones who remained enjoyed
the increased availability and picked up a slightly larger share of the
operating costs.. I think that when we finally sold the plane there were
only about 4 or 5 of us left in the syndicate and we shared out equally
whatever we sold it for. I dont think that would work if we had paid
several thousand for a share of course.
Where you lose of course is that when it is a nice day all the members
want to fly. This MUST be scheduled beforehand for the entire season. If
you want the plane for a week yourself and it is not your `day` then
you just do a deal with whoever holds the days involved and swap around.
Not impossible.
Certain amount of trust involved and you need to know the other members
reasonably well.
Cheers
Pat

I was in a twelve member Cessna 172 Flying Club. The plus side, few ever used the
plane. I used it often. On the downside, an inexperienced member pushed the
plane into the vertical support hangar beams and downtime on getting horizontal
stabilizer parts was all summer.
You need good chemistry, so pick your partners well, have good insurance and know
what you are getting yourself into, a signed flying club policy contract with
rules a must.
Good Luck
