This summary draws on signals shown in detail below — price comps, listing age, maintenance and engine status, and key specs. Read each section for full context. Not an appraisal.

Engine Life

Based on 340 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 1,800 hr TBO for the Continental O-300.

1,460 hrsto TBO

81% of TBO remaining

≈ 41.5 years to overhaul at its historical pace

1,460hrs left ÷ this aircraft's ~35 hrs/yr average. A rough projection — your own flying rate will change the timeline.

Engine reserve budget~$889/yr · ~$9/hr

Estimated overhaul cost ($16,000) spread over 1,800 hr TBO at 100 hrs/yr — a rule of thumb, not a quote.

Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 2,157 hrs total time across ~61 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

≈35 hrs/yrLow time

Low-time for its age

This airframe has averaged about 35 hrs/year over ~61 years — light use for a personal aircraft. Fewer hours can mean lighter wear, but aircraft that sit also risk dried seals, corrosion, and stale fuel-system components. Ask how regularly it's flown and what the recent annual inspections found.

Annual inspection

Required every 12 calendar months. Read off the listing's stated annual-due date — confirm against the logbooks.

Jul 2026Due soon

Annual inspection due this month

The listing states the next annual is due Jul 2026 (this month) — plan on a fresh annual (~$2,500) soon after purchase, or ask whether it has already been completed.

Cost to own

Rule-of-thumb estimates — insurance ≈ 1% of price, hangar $7,500/yr, annual inspection $2,500/yr, fuel + oil at your selected hrs/yr. Engine reserve from the panel above is folded into the split. Your actual costs will vary.

As a sole owner

$1,978/mo$23,739/yr

≈ $237 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$85,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,739 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$85,000	$1,978/mo	$23,739/yr
1/2 share	$42,500	$1,489/mo	$17,870/yr
1/3 share	$28,333	$1,326/mo	$15,913/yr
1/4 share	$21,250	$1,245/mo	$14,935/yr

Buy-in is the asking price split evenly across partners — what you'd each pay to acquire the aircraft (the real figure is negotiated). Fixed costs (insurance, hangar, inspection, engine reserve) split equally by number of partners; fuel/oil is per-pilot since each partner flies their own hours.
