In addition to maintenance you will also have to park it somewhere
and that usually costs something as well. Seeing as the Columbia is
a composite aircraft you will probably want to park in a
hanger. That can range from a sistuation like mine where I pay
$450/year for the ground lease and own my hanger which cost $30K to
thousands/month.
How large is your hanger? Unheated hangers with free electricity go
for ~$210, which I thought was a good price. BYO heating element. It
will only fit small planes, and seems comparable to mini storage
prices. Maybe this area just has an unusually good price. It's
government owned and the FBO is disjoint, which explains the low
price. I haven't checked anywhere else. Heated hangers are full, but
I believe they are normally ~$260/mo.
