Jon,
Our AP has been pretty reasonable. I believe his rate is something
like $400-$500 for the typical owner-assisted annual. We believe he
made a mistake in arranging for the plane-weighing guy for us without
checking the cost or telling us what it would have cost. We certainly
made him aware of our shocked reaction to the bill.

We do belong to the Cardinal Flyers club and had learned quite a bit
from the club. We redid the interior oursevles last year including
adding thermal/sound insulation (our AP let us use his hangar last
winter during the annual). He also let us assisted with all the
tasks. We have learned a great deal about airplane maintenance/repairs
in the last year from him.
