Commuting in a plane...

Peter,

You're doing well on your costs on your Bonanza. Around here
individual owners are figuring about $150-$200 per hour for their
Bonanzas (various versions), although one couple has a 1953 with the
225 hp engine that they manage to run for about $130 per hour.

All the best,
Rick

Rick, in your opinion what accounts for the difference between my costs and
the costs that the other owners (excluding the 1953 model) are incurring?

Peter,

Don't know for sure other than the folks with the older airplane do a
lot of the work themselves under the supervision of their mechanic and
its fuel burn is less; plus they haven't had too many avionic problems.
I keep hearing the others bemoaning various and sundry ills, fuel
controllers, avionics, just unsceduled maintenance to the tune of $500
or so each month.

All the best,
Rick
