Insurance depends on your experience, particularly in tailwheel
A/C. After 12 years of owning an S2A I pay about $2300 in 2001.
Maintenance depends on what needs fixing. In the 12 years that I
had mine I paid between $6,000 and $20,000 per year including
everything (fuel, insurance, hangar, repairs, etc). The
expensive years when I re-covered the plane and when I had
engine problems.
Purchase costs:
S1S: $18,000 (maybe even less) to $35,000
S1T: $25,000 to $40,000
S2S: $50,000 to $70,000 (there aren't that many around)
S2A: $40,000 to $70,000
S2B: $80,000 to $120,000
S2C: new (ask Aviat)
