[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4789441, member: 77939"] Bingo. Thanks again. I own an experimental and can inspect(annual/condition inspection) it also. My hangar rent is $150 per month. My plane uses about 7 gallons per hour. I can afford that. I owned a Cardinal 177 for awhile but a few engine scares had me sell it. A new engine is about $50k. I really can't afford that. My plane has the same engine as a Cessna 150. Cheap and reliable. I can't afford an RV6 or such. If I could, I would like an RV8. I like the tandem configuration. My plane is capable of +6/-3 g's aerobatic. I won't tell you what it is for privacy reasons....there's a small fleet and mine is very distinctive in paint. It would give my identity away pretty easily. BTW, I'm pretty conservative(chicken) about aerobatics. Get back in the saddle and fly....you'll never regret it. You will regret NOT doing it. I made a promise to myself that I'll fly as much as I can while I still can. It took me 40 years to get 500 hours......think about that. And I bought every one of those hours. Btw, when I first started flying, a C152 was about $15 per hour wet. I was making $11.70 as a part-timer. I spent every spare dollar flying. And then some. [/QUOTE]
