Silvaire is accurate but he lives in a land of freedom and low land costs

You can get a hangar in the UK for a hundred quid a year, but nobody would want to live where it would be

A lot of things are tied to each other. If you can get a hangar in which "owner maintenance" is permitted then you can dramatically reduce your maintenance costs (if N-reg) by employing a freelance A&P/IA. You can get a £3k Annual done for £1k.

That, of course, is why almost no hangar owner in the UK, located at an airfield where there is a MO present, permits stuff to be done in their hangar

I am currently watching the MSLP charts to see when I can get my next service done. 2 pairs of underpants, 2 sweaters, a wooly hat and gloves One of the more depressing aspects of ownership and trying to do the very best possible job.
