I am working on a project/feasibility study with Middle Georgia State College for a student built and flown RV-12. Part of this study is figure out the operating per hour, now I can run the numbers that vans says and put together with the average annual/100 hour (providing that the aircraft operates under a structured flight training program for ?Experimental aircraft specific make and model initial training?) cost to get the per hour cost. However, I figured the community would have a more realistic cost per hour. So If you could please provide any data, either on the forum or through private that would be extremely helpful for the project.
A little bit about the project, about 20 students at Middle Georgia State College in Eastman, Georgia have expressed an interest in building an airplane to reinforce skills that where learned in the class room. This would cover all 3 of the 4 major disciplines taught by the college, Flight Management, Aviation Maintenance and Production, and Airport/Airline Management. Being one of the 20 students and leading the project it was my job as dictated by the college to create a feasibility study in the areas of cost, legality, operation and safety from concept to flight for the project. Our goal is to start building in September of this year providing that we convince the college, the rest of the student body, and the University system of Georgia that this is something that should endorse. This will be an aircraft built, managed, and flown by students (under the advisement of certified A&Ps and aviation experts at Middle Georgia State) who all have a passion and love for aviation.
