Hi!,
I am a new jet pilot. The expense is greter than expected at many levels. I have flown pattern for years and can say it is much more expensive to fly and build a jet.

I fly Futaba even with jets.

In the last year I have spent $8-10,000 to out fit the needs of flying a bobcat xl with a p-120. There are many expenses that are different from the other. The need to travel to even fly at a safe place is greated than the travel that I had to do with pattern.

If you would like to discuss it feel free to call me at home 410-683-0026

The note from Gerry Sterner is honest. It remains "total cost" is different from any one plane
