Yeah... Most of it is regulatory overhead & lawsuit/insurance expense...
In a world where we had a Canada-style 'Owner Maintained' category & you didn't have to pay $400 for a $75 12v Ford alternator simply because it had been blessed by the FAA... Aviation wouldn't be so god-awful expensive... And in a world where a pilot who kills himself flying intentional-VFR-into-IMC didn't entitle his widow to a $5-million lawsuit windfall, it wouldn't cost 100k+ for a brand new Chinese clone of a 152 (new Cessna 162 LSA)....
