R22 operating costs

Some of you may think I'm a little mad. But - I decided I wanted to get my instructor rating in the UK having never flown anything other than a toy glider.

I have operated several businesses before and after doing a bit of research concluded that the best and cheapest way to achieve my goal was to buy an R22.

This done, I am now in possession of a lovely R22 beta II with low hours.

To subsidise the thing I am being offered a leaseback by my school. Now being new to this game I have calculated my costs per hour and what it will cost to pay for the 22, but the problem is I come up short on what my school is offering me per hour and what it actually costs in my estimation to run the machine per hour.

What I would like to know is the actual cost per hour to run it, from the people who really know and operate R22's, and not from my novice calculations.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I forgot to add I'm in the UK.
