I find walking out to a rental airplane that someone else has already
washed, fueled, fixed, annualed, etc. etc. etc. pretty damn convenient.
There
are two sides to every story.

And perhaps landed HARD and had trouble with one of the instruments and choose
not to say anything.
It's that knowledge of "who landed my plane last" that caused me to buy my
Archer 8 years ago and I have had no regrets though the cost for the 1000 hrs
during that period have cost about $74 per hour on cost alone. BUT I have
added a 430 and a 330 transponder and wingtip lights and secondary air and
maybe some other things that don't come to mind right now. Subtract these
costs and you get about $60 per hour. Not bad for an Archer that is always
waiting for you!
