Let's see what the LAA/BMAA route costs in southern England on a usual modest 40 hrs p.a.
(Most years lately it's more like 50, especially with last year's good Summer wx, peak 60 hrs.)
Rans S6-116 with 80 hp Rotax flat four 4-stroke engine.
Excluding initial purchase price as likely to remain much the same and hangarage as that is a major variable to add on.
Fuel (MoGas and using the higher last years of £1.30 per litre figures rather than the current dip in cost).
Plus 3rd Party Ins, Inspector's & LAA Permit fees, oil & consumable parts - but no engine sinking fund -
All comes to £30=00 per hour.
Grass strip with locked Hangarage here would double that !
