Time for a vote on 081?

[Bob Irving]

Maybe. But I'm not very comfortable with our numbers on 081. Does anyone
know anything about the radios? Is the aircraft up to IFR standards.
VOR/ILS/LOC all work? What are we going to do about the paint?  If the
engine time is 1600 hrs, how many years has it been since a major overhaul?
(10 years is a time limit as well as 2000 hours.)  Was it a field overhaul
or a factory remanufactured engine 1600 hrs ago? How much time on the prop?
When is the prod due for overhaul ?  Is the prop serviceable or has it been
refinished too many times?  How much time on the mags?  When do they need
overhaul again? Are all the logs available?  What condition is the interior
in?  Are we willing to pay $38,000? Are we willing to put 15% down?  Are we
willing to finance for only 60 months?  Are we willing to pay 8.5% interest
to Eagle East?

So we're not faring much better than the 976 option.  In order for 081 to
work for me we'd need to recruit at least 15 members, and that doesn't look
likely.  With at least 4 of the core members out, we're also looking at
possibly too few people to run the club.  Do you think it's worth reaching
out to the bigger group to see if there's enough interest there?

So far 4 no and 2 yes.

So far I've seen one yes (me) and one no (Bob McAloon).  Are we waiting on
any more information, or is it time to call in the votes on 081?  I for one
would like to know soon one way or the other whether this is going to be
feasible.
