what would it cost me to own
Well for an hourly rate whatever the local aero club charges per hour for the type is a good start, then work you way
upwards from there.
Chuckles has a good handle and my Woomera Colleagues $20-30k pa out the door for the privilege isn't light on either.
Ask anyone who owns a $60,000-$100,000 boat how much it costs to run and maintain against the number of hours fishing, same old same old.
You can either afford to indulge you hobby or you cannot, if you cant join a club or syndicate.
'Nother Woomera who's also been there done that.
