UH Just out of curiosity what is the price of a new PW-6? Or for that matter a new ASK-21? Pete




New K-21 is about $104K at the factory based on $1.30 exchange rate.

Trailer is about 15-16.

Shipping, insurance etc, about 3K

Instruments and stuff , anywhere from 3-15 depending on what you do.

Rough numbers.

No idea what PW-6 costs.

PW-6 base price $70K-ish. It doesn't ease the pain as much as one would like. At these numbers, personally, I'd be for digging in the pockets a little harder for the '21.

"Utilization" -- yes, I agree. Our club doesn't have an obvious, dead nuts reliable way to build enough utilization to make the nice new 2 seater work.

....frustrated. Seeking solutions.
