I'm recently got my NPPL (at last ! ) and I'm looking for a cheap way to build hours. I'm into flying purely for the fun of it , I don't want to make a career of it (too old now anyway).
What are the day to day practicalities of owning a permit aircraft?
I've seen a number for sale recently at very reasonable prices (I don't think my wife would agree but that's another story). I'm thinking particularly about VP-1/2 or a Taylor Monoplane.
What are the typical annual costs for hangar , insurance , permit renewal, maintanence ?
Are there any pitfalls to avoid ?
I don't expect to save money over renting club aircraft, probably the opposite in fact. But I'd hope to get a lot more hours in the air.
Any advise or suggestions would be gratefully received
