So I have been wanting to purchase an airplane as long as i can remember like all aviation enthusiasts but do not want to get in over my head and was looking for some advice from some aircraft owners.
My background:
I am 20 years old in college at a state university. LSU I have a steady job and my school is pretty much taken care of financially wise and I have to pay rent which is only 150/month at the moment gas, food, etc.... I have my private and IR and am working towards my CSEL i have the time and the written just have been looking for the right plane to finish up in (need access to a complex) The reason for wanting to by this plane a 1940 T craft BL 65 is because I really want to fly a tail wheel airplane to make my self a better pilot, to make me more marketable for jobs that require TW time and just for the pure enjoyment of flying low and slow and to build time this winter and spring so maybe that can lead to a job in the summer.
Questions?
How much can i expect to pay for insurance each year not being TW endorsed and having 0 TW time?
MX how much to expect per month on a plane with no electrics? It is just a straight flying machine very simple and for some reason i think that mx would be low? plane rebuilt in 2010 TSMOH 50 oh and its out of annual...
I do not have a hangar to keep it in....
Is this a terrible idea?
I know monthly i will have to pay - plane note, gas, insurance, mx, possible tie down fee instructor to get endorsement... what else?
