Having just rebuilt a Scottish Aviation Bulldog, my costs per hour flown to date is about £2700 per hour (don't ask). Deducting refurbishing costs, that reduces to about £400 per hour to include everything, fuel, maintenance, insurance, hangarage etc. It would be less if I used the aeroplane more. I have no engine fund as I have just fitted a new engine, all hoses, all ancillaries, exhaust and totally overhauled the prop and CSU at a cost of about £35K. I calculate my costs per hour, not including fixed costs, to be in the region of £210.
