But that is part of the cost of rental. If I have to pay for 21 hours
rental for a
week trip, and I fly my own aircraft 4 hours for the same trip, that's
"operating my
aircraft cheaper than I can rent the same plane."

I agree completely that one reason to own an airplane is to fly something
not easily available for rent -- a Maule certainly fits that category.
