1/12th share available in a Cherokee 140, Turweston (Northants, near Silverstone) based.
£2000 for the share, plus a £500 joining fee which goes into the aircraft fund (used for such things as new covers, screens, teflon coating etc over the past few years).
Current commitment is £900 per annum, to be paid either £75 per month S.O. or quarterly/half yearly in advance. This entitles the member to 15 hours flying at £60 per hour. Any flying over the 15 hours p.a. is billed at £60 per hour (ie the £900 per annum INCLUDES 15 hours flying, which equates to £60/hour wet).
Friendly group, friendly airfield, good access & availability. Genuine reason for sale – I am being posted to Scotland, and a commute from EGPF to EGBT for a few circuits is not really viable 🙁

I understand Manonthefence knows a bit about being in a PA28 with the door not closed properly …

Flew a 140 a few times during flight training, nice little plane….snuck a friend on board with me and he did’nt shut the door all the way (Of all vehicles NOT to do that in!) could’nt hear the radios from the noise of the wind, had to have the tower signal me in so we could close the door properly! On another flight, being used to high wing Cessnas as my primary trainer, I got caught flat footed in ground effect and just floated along the runway at about 3 foot of altitude forever…..until I started tracking off the side of the runway! A light stick ( 2 foot high light on a pole) started to come into view directly ahead and in the prop’s path, so I kicked left rudder and took the plane off the runway to avoid the pole….knocked the air out of two of the landing gear struts but walked away unscathed, the PA-140 flew the next day…

Piper 140: The most difficult single engine (fixed gear, nose wheel) aircraft you will ever fly under the 5000kg mark.
As a vastly experienced pilot still learning?
Out of Chipmunk, C140, C150, C172, C177 and Islander the PA28 has been the easiest for me to land. In fact I can’t see how they can even be bounced.

Humbled in the face of experience!

Methinks the boy wants something that flies itself and costs nothing to operate. No sense of adventure, these youngsters.

It has enough trouble flying at normal MTOW.
At 5000 Kg it would need a really loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong field.
Least I expect that’s what he means. :rolleyes:
The other problem would be stopping it on landing without any brakes.
