Thats the trouble with people who buy these things and then try to put a dollar cost on the sport. If I even thought about calculating the costs on my fleet I would have to factor in the fun. I reckon I would end up in the positive. We all should.

the simple metric of taking the hull value and dividing by 1000 to get the effective hourly rate works quite well.
Hmmm. So I bought my Grunau Baby (airworthy, including trailer) in the early '70s for $600. What 's that work out to - - 60 cents per hour. :-D
Of course there has been some expenditure in the last 30 years, especially the last 5 years, but it still works out at <$15/hour and I still have a truck load of fun.
