Please..."annual inspection expenses reserve" should be out of your
vocabulary. The annual inspection should be something on the order of
$200-400. What the inspection REVEALS if not taken care of during the
year
might be a hell of a lot more. But don't lay the cost of preventive
maintenance on the annual.

True. Well said.

If the plane is new to you, and a very complete prebuy inspection was not
done; then you could get bitten on the behind.
