Default Cost of ownership????

Using that work sheet, our Aztec initially comes in at $10 more per hour
than our actual operating costs incurred over 475 hours and 2 1/2 years.
However, the worksheet does not account for maintenance between annual
inspections, which in our case, amounts to $29 per hour flown. If I add $29
per hour flown to the annual cost the worksheet shows our Total per hour is
$10 less than actual. It's amazingly close either way and we break even vs.
renting at 68 hours per year.

I had some how missed that site. Good work. I pluged in the numbers based

on
601XL I'm building and I break even at 26.9 hours/year. That makes me very
happy.
