Do the sums; 200 hours x say $150 wet = $30,000. Money gone.


Buy one for $30,000- add 200 hours x20 LPH fuel =4,000 litres mogas, at say $1.60 per litre = $6,400 ($36,400) and you still have something to sell after one annual. They don't depreciate that much, carry your own insurance and waste the engine hours. Get a mate to go halves.
I know there are many variables but this statement should get the attention it needs to start a discussion on pro/con.
