Operational Cost of Ownership

After 25 years of Bonanza ownership,  I don't even think about the money I spend on my ERcoupe!  

How handy you are and how you get along with your A&P, IA will have a large impact on costs. An owner assist annual can save you money and give you a better idea of the condition of your Coupe and how things work.

Hi Kelly

Here is my operational hourly cost of my Ercoupe 415 - C for past 12 months . I flew 35 hours and I computed costs of;

Insurance , hanger , fuel @ $5.50 per hour , annual /IFR certs , oil , misc costs

my hourly cost . . . . . $279.71
I don't think my Seneca was a whole lot higher but then I averaged over 140 hours a year and fuel was about $2.00 cheaper , (everything was cheaper . . . . )
Of course the main reason for the abysmal cost was small number of hours flown . . . I loved every minute of my $279 an hour "Coupe" time . . . . ." The good part , I get about 20 miles to the gallon , better than my old Dodge Van !!
After I send this info to you I have to destroy this message . My wife would not be happy !

I was wondering if anyone has put together a spreadsheet or jotted down some numbers specific to the Operational cost of ownership on their Ercoupe C models. 

Thank you!
