Gary, at 6.25/gal. for Avgas, 2-5k/yr for annual inspection(assuming nothing is wrong smile ), 1k/yr for recurrent training, 4-500/mo. for hanger rental; I'm not sure you want a small plane. A plane is about the destination, a boat (sailing vessel) is about the JOURNEY. Besides, most small planes won't fit a keyboard and two speakers. Trust me, stick with the boat. A boat is like a wife, a plane is like an expensive mistress. Ask Deanne, he'll confirm this.
