Ron Wanttaja (a regular over on rec.aviation.homebuilt) has written a most
excellent book outlining literally EVERYTHING you need to know before taking
the leap into owning your own airplane.

I have read it cover to cover (I received a copy from Ron in exchange for
participating in a "case study" about using auto fuel in airplanes --
something I strongly favor and promote), and his book really runs the gamut
of ownership, from costs to responsibilities.

As an experienced owner, I can highly recommend this book. It would have
been a great help back when I was contemplating making the leap.
