Annual is in Sept. No squawks, it's probably around $4000 (£2600). Last year it was $7000 (£4500), but then they found some things. This year there's already talk of changing some of the fuel lines as they look a bit ragged, so it's probably going to be closer to the higher number...
Not that you needed any reminder, your quote from July. Look on the brightside, next annual........
Have you not considered a Progressive Maintenance Programme? If you can get a guy you reeeeeeeaaally trust, it could be the answer, Rockwell Maintenance certified of course. My Bonanza is still on the ground, with many engine parts in Tulsa, getting overhauled. That since July, but we took her back to basics, and have virtually stripped her, with almost everything now zero timed. I keep telling myself, that the extra cash now will save me in the long run....wishfully sad really
But the Commander looks great, as does the California winter weather
