Good catch Bob. I obviously overlooked or didn't record something in my
calculations. Even if I use your figure of $5400.00 it is still a
reasonable cost as far as I am concerned. The instructor time is
built into
the hourly cost. That is, the $68-$70 per hour includes the instructor,
airplane, and fuel. Sorry for the miscalculation.

You've learned the most important skill, airplane math! When we were
restoring the Navion we started adding up the bills and then decided
that was no fun. We have NO IDEA what the thing cost and we don't want
to know! You can't take it with you and the kids don't deserve it!

Have FUN, go buy a plane!

When someone ask me what a various airplane restoration that I have
done cost, I always just say the purchase price and then add the line
which I got from a guy who I knew while growing up, who all he did was
restore airplanes. He would restore them test them out and then sell
them and find another one to fix.

His line about what it cost to put it back together was "About X
number of years of the best fun my wife and I have in public."

It took getting a little older to fully comprehend the phrase.
