LetsFly Cooperative Testimonials

Eldon,

I have to take this opportunity to say "Thank You" both personally and to the entire organization. The LetsFly concept and the Aircraft are both such revolutionary ideas. When I tell folks that they can fly this full IFR, brand-new, clean, roomy, and stable aircraft for the same amount as renting an older, cramped 152, I usually get a raised eyebrow and the question: "What's the catch?" When I tell them the catch is that they will OWN the aircraft....I have their undivided attention!

With over 25 years of aircraft maintenance experience, I can say emphatically the Alarus is the first aircraft I have found specifically designed for easy maintenance as well as minimum effort required to perform that maintenance.

I have been having a problem with the fuel gauge on my Cessna 172. In order to access the wiring for troubleshooting, I have to remove the entire glove box, including the altitude encoder, then crawl into the pedal area on my back and hope I can get the multimeter leads in the right spot.

Conversely, if the fuel gauge or any other gauge in the Alarus requires removal, there is one screw on the front....loosen it and the gauge slides right out of the panel. All the switches and circuit breakers are also mounted on front-of-panel removable plates. The savings to an owner in labor costs alone during scheduled AND unscheduled maintenance actions could easily make 2 to 3 aircraft payments a year!

The local reaction to the plane has been immediate and reassuring. All I have done so far was land it at my local airport! So far I have had 6 fly-to-own inquiries, 2 people interested in buying an aircraft to start their own cooperative, and another person yet to call. All of this interest has been generated with zero advertising dollars...and in 10 days! Amazing.

I've said it before and see almost daily proof....this cooperative concept is a shift in the paradigm of aircraft ownership...affordability of excellence has been introduced into the equation. The Alarus, and now the TIGER, are the perfect aircraft to keep flying available to just about anyone.
Thanks again and Lets Fly!

Eldon,

Thank you so much for your assistance in purchasing 652AM We are excited
to be able to turn a lifelong aviation hobby (obsession) into a profitable
business. As a part of the Letsfly cooperative, we are able to represent the
best new IFR aircraft on the market. There is no other aircraft like the Alarus in our area. If the Letsfly program had been available in our area 4 years ago, we would never have purchased our 1963 Cessna 172. The purchase price for a share of the Alarus is comparable to the purchase price of the Cessna.

While we have greatly enjoyed our Cessna, who wouldn't rather have a brand new aircraft, with state-of-the-art avionics and that intoxicating "new car smell?" The Alarus is very stable and easy to fly. In fact, with only a one hour checkout, a 1700 mile cross-country flight was enjoyable and uneventful. The panel layout is the most intuitive I have seen - everything is right where it should be. The handling characteristics of the Alarus are also remarkably docile and forgiving; it should be perfect for a student pilot. However, it still has enough performance to make it very enjoyable for an experienced pilot to fly.

We have been amazed at the amount of interest and number of leads
generated locally, especially in a small town with fewer than 60,000 people. We anticipate filling this aircraft and having a positive cash flow very quickly. We have also had a significant amount of interest in the light sport aircraft, and have a list of pilots eagerly awaiting the availability of the CH601. We plan to purchase a second aircraft this spring and hope to have a full-fledged flight center by fall.

The business plan provided by Letsfly is more complete and "user friendly" than any we have heard about. We have been able to concentrate on marketing and enjoying the aircraft, rather than worrying about the nuts and bolts of starting a business from scratch. It allows us to turn a profit while providing a top-of-the-line, brand new aircraft to local pilots at an attractive price. Everybody wins.
Thanks again for all of your friendship and support, and for helping us
to get off the ground quickly and successfully.

We look forward to seeing you soon,
Andy and Tammy Beasley , Idaho

Dear Letsfly,

I just wanted to drop you a letter and let you know how things are going. As you are aware, prior to this, I had never been around aviation before nor taken a flying lesion. Flying was just something that I had always wanted to do. I have now taken several flying lessons and I am having a ball!

Perhaps even more importantly, I have been following the cooperative system you outlined and the turn key business kit. I have sold one share out in the airplane and have the other two spoken for. I should have everything wrapped up in the next few weeks and then have a positive cash flow.

The Alarus is really a great plane. The instrumentation has my instructors drooling. They have commented on how much fun it is to fly this plane and what a great training plane it is. Nothing could have made me happier.

Thanks for your honesty and integrity. The aircraft has worked very well. I am even considering getting another plane in the next couple of months to continue to grow our aviation business. Thanks again.

Sincerely,
J.B. Liddle Utah

To LetsFly,

I am writing this letter to tell you how much the LetsFly Cooperative system has worked for me. I have always been interested in flying and never knew how to get started. I responded to an ad about becoming a pilot and talked to a very informative person who told me that I could not only get all my ratings but also, have ownership in an aircraft. At the time I knew nothing about the flight cost or cost of owning a new airplane (what an eye opener). It was extremely expensive when I looked at other flight schools and other private aircraft owners.

Then I looked more closely at the cooperative concept and saw what I was really getting. Not only was I receiving great training I was also getting great flight costs with enthusiastic flight instructors, and the pride of ownership in the aircraft. I have been able to get all the financial aid along with a regionally accredited bachelor's degree while staying at home and still able to hold down a full time job!

What an opportunity of a lifetime. I have enjoyed the opportunity so much that I was able to take over local manager duties to help other potential aviators achieve what I have done. Thanks again for making this opportunity available.

"Having a new co-op has allowed me to fly a much safer and faster plane - and with much less maintenance cost and headaches - than I could have had without the co-op arrangement. If only I had a co-op available when I was learning to fly!"

Kathryn Kelly, Lake Tahoe, California

"LetsFly is the best business opportunity in aviation and has made owning and flying a new aircraft affordable and possible for nearly everyone. We have been with LetsFly for over three years and have grown from one aircraft to five aircraft."

Jack Lawless, Arizona

Rick Larson, marketing Director, EAA adds that, "Letsfly has the best shared ownership program in the industry. Their cooperative concept is truly revolutionary. They have not only developed a system to generate a better cash flow and profitability for flight schools, but have created a system to make aircraft ownership available for everyone. We are thrilled to work with LetsFly and feel that our combined efforts will be a tremendous benefit to our current and future members.

Rick Larson, Vice President of Marketing, EAA

According to Doug Hempstead, Vice-President of Fantasy Air USA, "I would agree with Rick Larson of the EAA, the LetsFly program is revolutionizing general aviation. They have put together a program that is making aviation affordable for everyone.

We sell one of the most affordable Light Sport Aircraft on the market and LetsFly has made it even more affordable. The LetsFly program allows our dealers to reach a market that would otherwise be unavailable. Letsfly.org provides individuals the opportunity to own a share in one of our aircraft with an initial investment of $2,900 dollars, start a cooperative or flying club and develop a positive cash flow with our aircraft."
