I'll take a look, Thank you! Do you happen to know what the operating cost is?

Thank you I appreciate that!

Twin engines are out of the question. Way too high op cost for someone like me.

I've been looking at C182s, and they look like they check all of my boxes, I absolutely admit that. Also the high wing would be great for flyins for camping under the wing. I also like the idea of being able to get in on both sides. The only problem is that the backseat "looks" small in...

So another question, is www.what2fly.com a valid resource for estimating cost per hour?

I've been looking hard at those specifically.

I looked into those, they're super sweet, and the cheapest one is at the top of my price range, which means "technically" in there, but too close for comfort.
