Another expensive annual this year

I don't see an annual inspection anywhere in the list.

Dave,
We don't expect the annual inspection by itself cost more than $500
or so with an owner-assist annual. We pretty much had all the
airworthy stuffs taken care off at last annual and throughout the year
(for example, we found a cracked muffler pipe while opening the cowling
to rotate the spark plugs last month and had our AP replaced it).


Jay,
Yep, we did not know our AP had a guy flown in from LI to do the
weighing. He charged something like $150 just for the travelling cost!
If we had known that, we would have checked around for a more
reasonable price.
