Thanks so much everyone
Sorry for the delay in getting back, I was travelling around on my Job.
The reason why I choose to buy one and not rent one is, other than the maintenance costs, flying my own plane will cost me about NZD36-60 per hour, whereas renting one costs about $200 including fuel. This I believe is a good reason for me to buy one? (sorry, please correct me if I am wrong)
Pilot DAR - Could I ask why would a Thorp not be a good first plane? If I can get the Thorp, I believe I can save on the hangarage costs as well, and hence yield a lower TCO.
AND it can be my personal commuter
no more having to drive to places, why drive when I can fly, eh
