That seems very fair bordering on cheap. If you think of a private owner insuring, storing, maintaining a -24 that easily $2500/year even with cheap or free trailer storage.

Now about the ASW24 the ship will hopefully be flown frequently, many
Recovering insurance cost is a priority for the first year, hopefully utilization will increase and we can turn the asset into a positive cash flow. If any followers are in Florida for the winter you are certainly invited to join us at TCSC for the funand festivities at X52, we even let motorgliders fly off the strip, but you cannot go to the front of the line.
