Buckaroo Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Is there a listing of typical shop costs for many of the items that need attention? My new used 2007 CTSW has 660 hours and I'm trying to budget for required service over the next day 200 hours. Thanks in advance! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Totally shop dependent. Just take shop rates for example. I have seen $65/hr, and I have seen $98/hr as rates. Big difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has very particular design elements. One big one is a shop that has carbon fiber and fiberglass experience. And one that has a mechanic with heavy Rotax training under his/her belt.

Buckaroo Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Ok I understand it's mostly labor on this stuff not instead of specific items priced. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 I would budget something like $10 per hour maintenance, $10 per hour engine reserve, and $1,000 per year annual. Those are good, conservative numbers, though on my last two annuals I have gotten away for about $400 doing most of the work myself under the watchful eye of my A&P. It's worth it to form a relationship with a good A&P. Mine gets a few hundred dollars for doing very little work himself, and I save on the cost of the annual -- we both win.

jcbrzusek Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Andy, who in the area can do the 100 hour and general maintenance since I am at GVL ? Where did you take training to get so familiar over time. Thanks a ton, you are a wealth of knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
