Is there a more affordable to acquire and maintain GA, Piston powered aircraft than the Cessna 150 Commuter?
I do not make much money and what I do make goes to a sizable mortgage and utility bills...but I want to fly!
My local airport provides very affordable tie-downs and is across the street from my abode. Flying for me will be far more expensive than inconvenient. I have fixated on the Cessna 150...perhaps I am overlooking an even less expensive Ga Aircraft?
The C-150 is one of the cheapest to own. Don't just think about the cost of purchase, cost of continued ownership can be pretty high for any plane. Other potential choices are: Piper Colt, or Pacer, Grumman AA1, Beech B19, Stinson 108, Taylorcraft BC12D, Aeronca Champ, Ercoupe 415. Many of these planes are old, and out of production. That makes them fairly cheap to buy, and a bit more to maintain.
Look at total cost of ownership, not just purchase price. It's a much different animal than car ownership.
US $29.99
