Cost of ownership
Larry,
Sorry to hear that you are selling. I've been lurking here for a couple of years (just got my license in Feb.) so I know how active you are in the group. I know the cost of ownership has been widely discussed in this forum, but would you be willing to share your most recent numbers for insurance and annuals? Will you be flying your plane to Oshkosh? I live near Madison and I may want to take a look at it. Thank you, Richard Schmidt rschmidt@tomotherapy.com 608-239-9352

my last insurance bill was for about $3K.
My last annual was less than $1K. It depends on parts, but I have, for several years, been able to assist, owner assisted annual, which dramatically reduces the cost of the annual inspection. I am not flying my plane to OSH.

That's good news and bad news. I'm glad it moved easily. I'm sorry to see that you are no longer a Skymaster owner. I hope you will continue to be a member of the group. You have provided a great service for us.
Whichever way you go, I wish you great success!

Thanks!
Larry,
Thanks for meeting me at Oshkosh, it was a pleasure to speak with you and meet Herb and Jerry as well - please thank them for me. Sorry I did not get to Bassler to see you off, the bus was super slow, probably due to the increased traffic after the airshow. I did see Jerry briefly, he was waiting for his clearance, he let me know that you had already left. Do you know of any Skymasters close to Traverse City (or at least within reasonable flying distance? I'm still hoping to get a tour of a cockpit while in MI on vacation 8/8-8/15. I'll have a C172 in Traverse City while on vacation. Thank you again for your time, Rich

There Was A Skymaster In Tc. Not Sure If It Sold Or Not. My Neighbors Son Is A Cfi At The Airport And I Could Hook You Up With Him Because He Might Know. Also You Can Search The Faa Site To See What Skymasters Might Be Registered Up There. The Faa Do Not Include Phone Numbers But Google Is Amazing To Track Down People. A Friend Of Mine Was At The Tip Of The Leland Peninsula Last Saturday And Said That There Was A Skymaster On The Airport (5d5) Woolsey. Not Sure If It Is Based There Or If It Was Just Visiting. You Can Always Swing By Grand Rapids And Go For A Ride In Mine.

Herb,
I'll look around while I'm in your beautiful state, but if I don't find anything, I may call you - thank you for your generous offer, I'd be happy to help pay for fuel. Are there any days next week that are better or worse for you? Thanks again, Rich 608-239-9352 Quote:
