Re: Cheap flying

This is where I get confused.

You too can travel at 100mph with a friend in a beautifully balanced and capable aircraft.

Your fuel cost would be no more than £15 per hour and your annual maintenance bills would cost less than 4 Indian meals with a friend.

You might not be able to fly at night or through cloud but does that REALLY bother you?

Your aircraft would not lose you money and it might well gradually appreciate over time.

To buy this aircraft with one friend would cost you £4/day and after a period of time similar to the time it takes to achive a PPL you would have paid for it.

Is flying really that expensive?
