I am a Gr2 instructor and can put it online with the local aero club. They don't have a trainer of this class so I can get flying hours and make the aircraft work, and tax deductable. If anyone can suggest some ballpark figures for how much I should allow hourly for maintenance costs it would be appreciated. Any other thoughts welcome.
Cheers,

Why would you buy an aircraft then ask these questions. Wonder why people get into financial difficulty.
