Default Rent vs. Own

Oh...I almost forgot....

Pitot static check every 2 years at 250.00 per.

Transponder check every 2 years at 250.00 per

New ELT every two years at 100.00

Amortization for new paint (let's assume new paint costs 9,000 and has to be
done every 15 years, let's assume the paint is 7.5 years old) therefore
100.00 per month for new paint.

Same deal for a new interior...100.00 per month.

And as Sonny and Cher aways said, "...and the beat goes on."

My pitot/static and transponder checks get done together, and it has
always been less than $250 for both combined. ELT batteries for my ELT
(Narco ELT-10) run about $35. Those are all small expenses relatively
speaking. The big things are hangar rent, insurance, annual inpsection,
and repairs.
