Summary
97 Max talks with Marc Epner, a
founder of the Leading Edge Flying Club in Chicago, about best
practices for starting a flying club, the tradeoffs in structuring
as an equity vs. a non-equity club. Some clubs form to reduce the
cost of flying, while others such as Leading Edge focus strongly on
social activities. Events include hotdog lunches, monthly
breakfasts, seminars, and a Run the Runway event.
