I've gone from the "just day dreaming about" to the "seriously thinking about" stage of buying a new SLSA RV-12. I've never owned an airplane. I've been a renter, so I've never had to concern myself with maintenance and inspections. They've been taken care of by the FBOs from which I rent. If I buy, those things will be my responsibility, and I'm trying to imagine how I'll do that. I live in Santa Monica and would like to keep my plane at KSMO. (It's not closed yet.) There are no hangars available there, so I'll have to settle for a tie-down space. I suspect that will make even simple self-maintenance difficult, because I won't have storage space for tools or fluids. Where do Southern California based RV-12 owners take their planes for maintenance and inspections?
