This video needs a re-do. I don't know why everything needs to go straight to Biden/Trump politics. But yeah, since COVID the market is crazy. Which happened before Biden, BTW.
Hallo Bob, absolutely I agree, most people do not understand - that *Time is money, Dekades back - I had had a Beech-360 for business not for toy, So the time works for me, in time of amortisation of costs. As I sold my Company - also gave away, to the right time- as PT6 coming up I guess piston engines consumption is too expensive actually. thank's for Attention, regards from Germany
Plus you can check of if it flies or floats and, with proper maintenance, that should continue pretty much the same for many years. The remaining item can stop at anytime without warning, regardless of how much was originally invested. Just sayin'...💔
Biggest mistake my grandpa made was to sell his propeller maintenance and restoration business and his airplanes to please my grandma. His health deteriorated quickly after it and he died just a couple years after it, he died unhappy and unfulfilled. Years later she is still around and will be for longer. Die happy, die active, fuck what she says... keep flying my friend.
Two big things missing from this video - avionics and engine time. A modern glass IFR-certified cockpit swings the price $30K compared to a busted, barely legal, VFR steam panel. Also, engines get overhauled about once every 2000hrs, and that can cost $20K per engine. So depending on how much time those twins have on them, that's another $40K swing. Paint is another $10K. The airframe is only about a third of the cost.
I have a Cessna 337G with completely redone IFR glass panel, and would not trade that plane for anything. The breadbox cabin design gives the best shoulder and head space and leg room is phenomenal. I have removed the most aft 2 (jumper) seats and made that space cargo friendly, so technically it became a 4-seater, though.
My man! This video came at the time I was looking for planes that would be able to carry family, have decent range and not break the entire bank :) i like the the last piper, single engine!!!
When you consider hanger, insurance, maintenance, repair, engine reserve, prop reserve, fuel, etc. you’ll quickly discover your per hour operating cost is several hundred dollars per hour.
Which is it 5 or 6 seater. Any 310R for under 100k is a bottomless money pit. Where is the stationair? Aztec too huh. What is good shape in your mind? Light twins will cost plenty to insure & they are very dangerous!! Especially for the non CFI MEI.
buy a cessna 320 with a riley rocket conversion. i will run over 400 knots and if you put all the fuel tanks in, you can go from miami to brazil. hauls six and baggage. it will go to brazil to tennareif or the azores and on to europe. this airplane will give you the world.
the 310R is a great looking airplane, but I will always prefer my A55 Baron. I got her for $90k and while its expensive to maintain, she is solid and has done some amazing things for me. I won't ever get rid of her.
Not any more thanks to covid. Prices now are outrageously high. You'd be lucky to get a decent single-engine now for under 100K that doesn't need a lot of work or is close to TBO.
Thanks for inflation, you mean? Anyone who had cash also had brains to invest it into anything that holds value better than cash these days. Like an airplane.
Great reviews. One thing that everyone in the industry never talk about though is useful payload. yes you can get 6 people in these planes, but how much fuel are you leaving on the ground? Mfg's almost never list useful payload...which is calculated at full fuel. The range with 6 people in these plans will end up being half since you have to stop for fuel and have reserves in IFR. You missed the 206/210's which can be had for under $100k as well. Still a great review. I am in the process of buying right now and cant decide on a 310 or Saratoga (little over the $100k range).
These are some great solid certified aircraft but we still see you flying your favorite 4 seater Sling TSI at the end of your video there in the California sky’s. Can’t wait for you to have your TSI test flown and checked out!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you, your wife and the beautiful new little girl. Enjoy Daddy and Mommy welcome to the club parents club! Fly Safe my friend!
Under $100k? 6-seat? Twin engine redundancy? Safety? Load capability? And safety, again. The answer is the C-337. If you don't stupidly takeoff with insufficient fuel or stupidly fly one into a rock-filled cloud, either of which will kill you in any aircraft type, this airplane won't kill you. I own one in Alaska. There is absolutely no piston aircraft I would trust more for night, mountain or IFR flight. Or in harm's way in hostile locales. I flew them in Vietnam, and later in Kosovo and Iraq after quitting the airlines at the 27-year point. Lose an engine after takeoff? Ho-hum. There's less noise and a reduced rate of climb. Now what else? There must be more to do. Oh yeah, the FAA says I'm supposed to land at the nearest suitable airport. Price? 50k to 60k is common. To get it over $100k, you're talking a Riley Rocket or a pressurized or a turbo with a loaded panel. C-336, the fixed gear model, is also an option. It's less expensive to maintain, but watch the rear engine temps. She is ugly; that's true. But that's only skin deep.
Sadly this video is not accurate anymore due to the supply chain issues. I’ve even seen old beaten Cherokee 140s for close to $100K. Hope this changes soon the A320 doesn’t bring me the trill of GA flying.
Having owned a V35B and a B55 in the past I can tell you for sure that the purchase price is only the admission to the show. Be ready to pay at least 10k USD a year just to have it sit (annual inspections, hangar space, insurance). It's a rich mans sport and it will make you a poor man in a minute ;-) But... do it if you can.
100k for a plane? There's gliders priced that high...I got a feeling buying a $100k plane is like buying a old Mercedes for $100 yeah ther office is cheap but how much will you spend in ther long run, unlike cars you def wanna make sure ya plane won't over heat in the air.. not like you can just pull over lol
For those mentioning the cost of ownership, you must understand that most people who are interested in the purchase of a airplane or a boat will use it substantially more often than most people. Hell they might use it every other day. So while for us it is more economical to rent an airplane, for many others it may be cheaper to just purchase one. Of course this depends on the type of plane or boat. Hell a sail boat or an airplane powered by a Chevy engine, is a lot cheaper to maintain than a cheap private jet. If you don't use it often, don't buy one.
I’m surprised you didn’t include aircraft like the Cessna 206 or the Cessna 210 more that piper Saratoga, although that is pretty much a Cherokee six. Even some bonanzas can be found under $100,000 and sit six people. A Cessna 205, 206, or to 10, can be easily found under $100,000.

So glad to see the Cherokee 6 on here. My father owned on (3217W) in the 1960's. He said of it "That plane just wanted to be in the air". He and some of his buddies would fly to North Carolina from Massachusetts for a few days of golf in the spring. One of the other guys owned a Cessna Super Skymaster. My dad would take one of the guys and all the luggage. He always got their first because the Super Skymaster didn't have the range of the 6.
My dad buys and sells farm equipment. He went to an auction around 10 years ago and there happened to be a Piper Aztec for sale. That Aztec happened to be an aircraft my grandfather used to own. He bought it brand new from the factory in the 1970s without paint, and had it painted light green. It was a great little plane.
The only plane I want is a bush plane... Be going around East Africa's parks and what not... Or even do a trip from Mombasa to the Congo. That would be fun.
Many light twins are available for little-to-nothing because their cost of operation is insane. They have massive fuel consumption, and double the engine rebuild cost. Basically, if you can afford the fuel and the maintenance of a twin, you probably don't have to limit yourself to only 100k anyways.
twin engine jobs have the safety and security of a reserve engine due to breakdown, look at the old days, where ETOPS mandated tri jets in the 60's and 70's and 80's.......isn't one's life worth the maintenance and fuel burn? Either go big or go home I say when it comes to a plane!
Great idea of making a video with this comparison! Just a few things: Baron 55 is 4 seater! Baron 58 is 6 seater. For 100k you‘ll get a wreck There are more aircraft you didn’t mention. Twin and single. Single: Beech Bonanza 36, C206, C210... Twin: C337, etc...
@@siliconiusantogramaphantis2122 If one goes out to public and gives a speach or video or something like that, it would be great to do the complete homework before that, in order to give good information. Not just parts or unrealistic scenarios. If one doesn’t know enough or is just lazy, don’t try to “educate” the world with half-knowledge. Do it right or just be quiet. Sorry. Who asked him to do this video? I didn’t. Did you?
I used to work for a flight school doing maintenance on their aircraft. we nicknamed our 310 the death trap since it was coming in constantly for repairs and a general pain to work on.
Just watch the 310 with tip tanks can turn into a frisbee in a spin.. The mooney is a doctor killer. Aaaaaahh you got a winner with the piper chereokee or sennica. Thats my 2 picks,you had a good selection and thank you for feeding my flying bug, I thought I had lost it Just seeing the interior Of a piper again did it for me.
@@andrewdiamond2697Hahah true I just have personal experience with a guy we called "dr Death", one time he was landing his bravo while trying to scrape the window with his arm through the storm window, with his whole family. Drs can afford alot of airplane and tend to go more complicated than they are ready for like variable pitch and retractable gear, then do things like push the weather cause they think they are god.
Good assortment and choices. I'm glad you pointed out operating costs above and beyond fuel. that's the nut right there. be very thorough (& honest) in determining your operational needs prior to selecting an aircraft. In addition, you may want to consider the type of flying you want to (can) do. 1000 mile range sounds nice yet realize that's 5+ hours in a plane with your PAX. fly safe and fly well.
Hi Mike...Particularly I like airplane with two engines. Here in Brazil buy this type of plane the price is high. There are many unnecessary fees. As always you produce great videos. I'm your Brazilian fan. Good job, my boy.
Tu é piloto? Quanto custou sua formação? É difícil entrar para alguma empresa como a Tam por exemplo? E por último, existe algum preconceituoso contra pessoas mais humildes?
This is a long old theory that has since been disclaimed with the introduction of single engine jets. Also single engine turboprops are some of the safest planes to fly. Turbine engines just have a way of working 100% of the time. Less moving parts!
Your content and videos are great Mike. I missed these kind of videos...these are what made me subscribe and fall in love with your content. Happy flying.
0:34 Dude, they are not different engines, you mean "separate" engines. When you say different engines you mean the nature of the engines themselves, they would have either different manufacturer or different model number. Separate engines mean you have two of the same but one on each wing.
@@habaneropepper4156 Most notably, the Rutan Voyager. It had two different models of Continental engines. A 240 up front and a 200 in the rear. These were in a push/pull configuration. The Gulfstream Hustler had a Turboprop in the nose and a turbofan in the tail. There were also a bunch of mixed engine aircraft using props and jets. Like the B-36 Peacemaker with 6 radial and 4 jet engines. Trying to balance the weight and power of two different engines outside of the fuselage would be... interesting. And a mechanical nightmare.
Like, almost double. I'd stay away from the twins unless you've got plenty of money to burn. And even if you do - get a nicer/newer/faster single-engine. Possibly get a turboprop like the PC-12, but that's well into the 7-digit range
Started watching the '310 Pilot' TH-cam channel and fell in love with the 310. Found another channel talking about costs and it tempered things a bit, lol. Maintenance, insurance, storage and operating costs for ~100hrs a year were in the $40K range. eek! haha
I wonder how much it really costs to own a super car. Or people that go to baja racing, dirt bikes, rving etc.. I think it depends on the type of hobby you want. I'd love to learn how to fly and go from there. I do not like flying commercial, I rather drive. Up until recently I never thought or imagined I could fly myself.. Here I am researching about personal airplanes. It's still a distant dream, but who knows :D
Hm, what's the use of 1500 miles of range if it takes you 9 hours to do it? What're the chances you & your 5 passengers will not need to pee or even have a b.m. over 9 hours? Which group of 5 passengers will be willing (or able) to pee in a bottle, in front of each other?
Hey Mike. Am Henry from Uganda. What are your aircraft recommendations for someone intending to venture into cargo and passenger (both tours and charters), with quite a small budget.
Looking at this i cannot help but wonder at how close the US came to making flight cheap, affordable, common, and convenient, almost getting to the point where the average family could own an airplane. One has to wonder why that never happened, with people choosing instead to buy cars from enormous corporations that had massive lobbying power with the government... I guess it shall forever remain a mystery.
Huuuge question mate I’m looking for a plane that can fit 4 to six people or a KUKA delta robot, servers and tools in other words big cargo or side door and a lot of load capacity, for cross country deliveries, based on this what would you recommend mate ?
Celso Melo ok, I don’t think you really know what a Cessna 210 is then. They go over 200mph and the pressurized version is close to 250mph cruise speed. That’s nothing to scoff at.
Two different engines - I don't think so. He obviously didn't do his homework. They are the same engines but what he meant to say is - they have two engines.

When you mentioned the Cherokee 6 I thought about the Cessna 210. There are lots of older ones on Trade-a-Plane for under $100k
All cheap to buy... very expensive to run!
$40-70k for a Cherokee 6??? They’re all $150k + nowadays
Been a helicopter owner/pilot for over 30 years. Looking at learning to fly fixed wing and maybe even owning one. Love your videos!
Two big things missing from this video - avionics and engine time. A modern glass IFR-certified cockpit swings the price $30K compared to a busted, barely legal, VFR steam panel. Also, engines get overhauled about once every 2000hrs, and that can cost $20K per engine. So depending on how much time those twins have on them, that's another $40K swing. Paint is another $10K. The airframe is only about a third of the cost.
But it carries 2,000 lbs....thats a lot of kilos
Right none of the plans show will go for 100k or less
Most overhauls start at $35k
I have a Cessna 337G with completely redone IFR glass panel, and would not trade that plane for anything. The breadbox cabin design gives the best shoulder and head space and leg room is phenomenal.

Twin: C337, etc...
baron B55, C55 and D55 could be specified with 6 seats (2 small seats in the cargo aerea)
Good luck finding a 36 Bonanza for under $100,000.
You should make a video. I'd watch it.
@@siliconiusantogramaphantis2122 If one goes out to public and gives a speach or video or something like that, it would be great to do the complete homework before that, in order to give good information. Not just parts or unrealistic scenarios.
If one doesn’t know enough or is just lazy, don’t try to “educate” the world with half-knowledge.
Do it right or just be quiet. Sorry. Who asked him to do this video? I didn’t. Did you?
I used to work for a flight school doing maintenance on their aircraft. we nicknamed our 310 the death trap since it was coming in constantly for repairs and a general pain to work on.
Try making this video again now.
Cessna 210? :(
If the maintenance cost on my country match my bank account, I would surely buy the piper Seneca II PA-34
Just watch the 310 with tip tanks can turn into a frisbee in a spin..
The mooney is a doctor killer.
Aaaaaahh you got a winner with the piper chereokee or sennica. Thats my 2 picks,you had a good selection and thank you for feeding my flying bug, I thought I had lost it Just seeing the interior
Of a piper again did it for me.
Mooney doesn't have that reputation. The Beech Bonanza V-Tail has the doctor killer reputation.
@@andrewdiamond2697Hahah true I just have personal experience with a guy we called "dr Death", one time he was landing his bravo while trying to scrape the window with his arm through the storm window, with his whole family.
Drs can afford alot of airplane and tend to go more complicated than they are ready for like variable pitch and retractable gear, then do things like push the weather cause they think they are god.
Purchasing an airplane is easy. It's maintaining it, fuel, and storage of the aircraft that costs the most.
Lawren Downing the best way is to share with this expenses
i think all are sell in BLACK..!!!😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
This person needs to go to speech class!
Great video but I love twins engineering for as balanced and control keep doing a good job.
Thanks Mike. Happy Thanksgiving!🦃🍕🥧🛩️🛩️🛩️
Happy Thanksgiving Charles.
Good assortment and choices. I'm glad you pointed out operating costs above and beyond fuel. that's the nut right there. be very thorough (& honest) in determining your operational needs prior to selecting an aircraft. In addition, you may want to consider the type of flying you want to (can) do. 1000 mile range sounds nice yet realize that's 5+ hours in a plane with your PAX. fly safe and fly well.
I'm sitting here thinking...my 3 daughters and I pee 3 times between Indiana and Tennessee 🤣🤣
@@merrittorius nothing wrong with landing at a local airport after a few hours and check out the scenery
I wish it was two year ago prices…
Hi Mike...Particularly I like airplane with two engines. Here in Brazil buy this type of plane the price is high. There are many unnecessary fees. As always you produce great videos. I'm your Brazilian fan. Good job, my boy.
Tu é piloto? Quanto custou sua formação? É difícil entrar para alguma empresa como a Tam por exemplo? E por último, existe algum preconceituoso contra pessoas mais humildes?
Piper Aerostar: I AM SPEED
Beechcraft baron brand new: I AM MONEY
Why do companies make single engine p
lanes without any solution to save lives of passengers, in case of the single engine failure?
This is a long old theory that has since been disclaimed with the introduction of single engine jets. Also single engine turboprops are some of the safest planes to fly. Turbine engines just have a way of working 100% of the time. Less moving parts!
Your content and videos are great Mike. I missed these kind of videos...these are what made me subscribe and fall in love with your content. Happy flying.
0:34 Dude, they are not different engines, you mean "separate" engines. When you say different engines you mean the nature of the engines themselves, they would have either different manufacturer or different model number. Separate engines mean you have two of the same but one on each wing.
maxbored fuk u dude
L engine and R engine doesn't mean left and right, its Lycoming and Rotax.
@@starke6666 You are not very smart...are you? You wrote 3 words and fucked up 2 of them.
lb969 so prop planes can have two different engines? I tried looking up but didn’t immediately find information.
@@habaneropepper4156 Most notably, the Rutan Voyager. It had two different models of Continental engines. A 240 up front and a 200 in the rear. These were in a push/pull configuration.
The Gulfstream Hustler had a Turboprop in the nose and a turbofan in the tail.
There were also a bunch of mixed engine aircraft using props and jets. Like the B-36 Peacemaker with 6 radial and 4 jet engines.
Trying to balance the weight and power of two different engines outside of the fuselage would be... interesting. And a mechanical nightmare.
Fun fact, those are still cheaper than an Escalade even a loaded Tahoe :D
The old capex vs opex argument. In GA any plane that costs a fortune to operate will likely be cheaper to acquire!
Love it Mike.
I'm looking forward to flying with family .
What are the cost differences between single and twin engine in anuall maintenance.
Like, almost double. I'd stay away from the twins unless you've got plenty of money to burn. And even if you do - get a nicer/newer/faster single-engine. Possibly get a turboprop like the PC-12, but that's well into the 7-digit range
fixed landing gear suck! Retractable is way better which contributes to better air dynamics.
…車用シート！"(-""-;）
Started watching the '310 Pilot' TH-cam channel and fell in love with the 310. Found another channel talking about costs and it tempered things a bit, lol. Maintenance, insurance, storage and operating costs for ~100hrs a year were in the $40K range. eek! haha
I wonder how much it really costs to own a super car. Or people that go to baja racing, dirt bikes, rving etc.. I think it depends on the type of hobby you want. I'd love to learn how to fly and go from there. I do not like flying commercial, I rather drive. Up until recently I never thought or imagined I could fly myself.. Here I am researching about personal airplanes. It's still a distant dream, but who knows :D
Hm, what's the use of 1500 miles of range if it takes you 9 hours to do it? What're the chances you & your 5 passengers will not need to pee or even have a b.m. over 9 hours? Which group of 5 passengers will be willing (or able) to pee in a bottle, in front of each other?
Hey Mike.
Am Henry from Uganda.
What are your aircraft recommendations for someone intending to venture into cargo and passenger (both tours and charters), with quite a small budget.
Looking at this i cannot help but wonder at how close the US came to making flight cheap, affordable, common, and convenient, almost getting to the point where the average family could own an airplane. One has to wonder why that never happened, with people choosing instead to buy cars from enormous corporations that had massive lobbying power with the government... I guess it shall forever remain a mystery.
Huuuge question mate I’m looking for a plane that can fit 4 to six people or a KUKA delta robot, servers and tools in other words big cargo or side door and a lot of load capacity, for cross country deliveries, based on this what would you recommend mate ?
What about a Cessna 210? I love that seater plane;)
Mr Hats it’s kinda hard to find them at under 100k but it’s possible
@@skyforce2132!
@COLIN MCNALLEY idk who would pay that much for a flying brick high wing lol
Celso Melo a 222mph flying brick with 900mile range
Celso Melo ok, I don’t think you really know what a Cessna 210 is then. They go over 200mph and the pressurized version is close to 250mph cruise speed. That’s nothing to scoff at.
I would want a Cessna 310D with the 3 blade props! They are super cheap!!
Do you need anything more than a private pilot license to fly these six seaters?
Time. Just because you have a PPL doesn't mean you are experienced.
Waaait, hold up, I can get a plane for cheaper than a Midnight express boat :\?
Now I want a plane, but who will be my pilot tho?
Umm, I'm just a normal guy but who the fuck has a hundred grand to buy a friggin airplane???
I am looking for Caravan 208B, for a survey for under $100,000, do you know where to get it from
Two different engines - I don't think so. He obviously didn't do his homework. They are the same engines but what he meant to say is - they have two engines.
