Airplane prices are ridiculous, Pt.2

I used to think that. There is a long series of articles on the subject on the AOPA web site by the resident AOPA lawyer. I would suggest you read them. This is "big" news to me. I tried searching the AOPA web site for said articles but came up with nothing that appeared relevant. So if you have the URLs handy it would be appreciated. On further searching, I did find the following, but it is an Avweb article: http://www.avweb.com/news/avlaw/186346-1.html While it has some interesting gotchas, most of the "traps" match my previous understanding. |

Your understanding is consistent with my understanding of the matter. Even more importantly, it's consistent with our auditors, and the last time the IRS did an audit of our personal returns (prepared by the way by the same auditors we use for the company) that came up clean as well (expense report reimbursements were looked at carefully, that is a common way for business owners to try to avoid reporting what could be taxable income). It's fine for folks on the forum to point out areas where there experience suggests there may be problems, I appreciate that -- my check lists, for example, have a number of lines now inspired by ideas that have originated here. In this case I feel certain what we do and the way we do it is a valid reimbursable business expense. |

You can buy an RV-6A for circa $60,000. Ron Lee |

Myself, I'm flying in the light sport category and would like something that could be considered interstate transportation. As this isn't justified for anything but pleasure, and because I just bought a new Kubota front-end loader, I'll have to wait a year or longer to meet the prices they're asking for low-wing cross country makes. I might feel different about the Sonex if I had one to view and try out. They're less to purchase but I suspect high on insurance. And they look funny. And I'm 6'3". --- Mark |

Lord knows, but if he is as precise in his flying as he is in his writting, he is going to wind up floating off the end of the runway in a low wing. Least anyone get the impression I'm anti low wing, I own a Tiger. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Fantastic airplane! ...as long as you don't live someplace like Oregon, or, you have a hangar. I enjoyed flying an AA5B as much as I enjoyed flying a brand new SR-20, and you could probably buy five Tigers for the cost of a Cirrus. Fly safe! -Chris CFI |

Well, I don't fly in the rain and replacing the bow seal on the canopy when it gets hard eliminates leaks when it is parked. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
