I have thought about co ownership but really would like my own aircraft
My budget is around 13k not a lot I know
Say for instance I bought a pa 28 or similar what would the running costs be
Also if it needed work doing what am I permitted to do myself? I'm mechanically minded.
what is the difference between permit to fly and cessnas and the like
I won't be flying the airways as I don't have an instrument rating
Will be vfr
Unfortunataley I don't have access to a field, that would certainly save cash
The local playing fields are not going to be an option !
What if I asked a farmer if I could keep it in his field
Just racking my brains here
Really do love aviation and can't see myself financing a CPL so my own aircraft is my dream!
Thanks again everyone
