Rod,

Then the systems are different, and I think I like yours better. Canada has gone the wrong way with this lately.

If your maintenance costs have come down that much, you must be skilled at maintenance, and doing a good job, that's excellent. With that skill, however, I would wonder that you could not keep a simple certified aircraft maintained for a similarly small sum, with an inspector signing off that maintenance. That's what I do, and my money out of pocket for maintenance in any given year is really only a few hundred dollars, which is mostly parts and recertification of a few items of equipment - which you'd have to pay for with any type of aircraft.

As long as aircraft buyers are making informed decisions, and correctly budgeting their operating expenses...
