Larger is relative. If you mean larger Cessnas (like the 310 or Caravan), it probably wouldn't hurt to call -- they might cost a bit more, with extra engines (and associated emergency procedures) etc., but I'd guess that they'd still be under USD 100 if they're in stock. If you mean large transport planes, then it's a whole different story. Big birds like the 747 (or even a 50-seater regional jet) have a large set of very long, very expensive manuals governed by the ATA 2100 standard, with names like AMM, FIM/FRM, CMM, SRM, and so on. The AMM (Aircraft Maintenance Manual) alone for a big jet can be over 200,000 pages, and it has to be updated every couple of months -- you can be that the cost of that gets passed on to the customer somehow.
