True costs of a light twin...

I have owned a Cessna 320 and 414. Previously I owned 2 Mooneys. I am
sure there are less expensive twins than the Cessnas but they seriously
lack performance. Now to the cost. Whatever the cost of your single
engine was, quadruple it. In fact your first year may truly be higher.
(I dont care how great a prebuy you have) Please note that I am a
perfectionist when it comes to a zero squak plane. My insurance only
ran $5500 per year. Engines are not drasticly different between all
planes. The major difference is the systems. Small switches run a
$1000.00. You must understand a good twin if new today would cost
between 600k-1m, so its parts are expensive. Also, there are many more
single engine planes flying, so secondary suppliers are more abundant.
One last thing, if you are buying on a very tight budget that cant
handle $1,000.00 hits, either rent or stay with a single. Good luck.
