It depends on your engine and as someone else pointed, how much work you can do yourself. If you have a VW and can do the maintenance and inspections, It is VERY cheap. 4.5 gallons of fuel per hour max, oil change every 50 hours if you have an oil filter, hangar rent and normal everyday stuff. I replaced all 4 cylinders, pistons, and rings for $210 on my VW.
I have seen them do limited aerobatics. If you want to do that, keep it as light as possible. This is not "off topic", it is what the KRNet is for. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2007 - KR Gathering There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying has begun. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC -------Original Message------- it is cheap compared to GA aircraft but just "how" cheap? Also, I have seen some posts about doing rolls and such but is there anyone doing semi-serious acrobatic maneuvers?
