This is for a 1966 Cessna 210F, I own, no liens. The Cessna 210 is a High Performance cruise aircraft, RG/285hp/constant speed 3 blade (Cross country Machine). This 210 will cruise at 160kts (at 15.5 gph) and climb twice as fast as a 172. It has a range of 800nm (plus), (the above gph and speed at 5000 ft) which is longer than most peoples bladders will last. (5+ hrs) It will also do economy cruise of 13gph, but you will be down to 147Kts, this is at 9K. It's best altitude is 8-10K, for 13.8gph, 155 kts. This 210 has 80 gal (useable) tanks, useful load is 1200lbs, and is basically a 4 seat version. It has “kid” jump seats for 5/6.
Plane is currently based at Toledo (TDO), A GPS approach is coming this Summer/Fall, 4500 x 150 runway. Fuel on the field. I will consider a different airport, but the hanger at Toledo will be hard to beat.
This plane has killer avionics, GNS430, KT76C (digital), KX155, Sandel 3308 EHSI, KNS80, ADF, 4pl intercom and autopilot. Also a WX1000 Storm Scope, Engine analyzer and a digital fuel flow meter. It is a gem to fly approaches with.
There is about 325hrs right now on the engine, since it’s Overhaul. The detailed 2008 annual had no significant issues, engine compressions all in the 70's. Probably one of the smoothest 210's out there. All AD’s current. Complete log books from day one.
Just for comparison, a 172 and the 210, 400nm trip, the 210 will do it in 2.5hrs, 40 gals, the 172, 3.5hrs, 28 gals, @4.50 gal, 210/$180, 172/$125. This is based on two people, no baggage, 5000ft. the 172 costs more with 3 people, the 210 unchanged. If your trip is 500nm, the 210 shines, because the 172 would need to stop and refuel, and probably unload bladders. Going east, you need to climb to 8 to 10 Thousand, 12 min’s in the 210 at 120kts, 25 min with a 172 at 75kts.
So, local flying, 172 is cheaper, but cross country the 210 shines, and is allot more comfortable (wider cabin, more leg room, warmer), for about 30% more in cost over a 172. This is based at 5000 feet, at 9000 ft, the 172/210 end up being within 10%. 182 is actually pretty close to the 210, because the 230hp uses just 15%less fuel, and is 20kts slower.
OK, the nitty gritty. I am not desperately seeking a partner. I just figure why not share this gem with the right person. I am seeking $20K for a buy in. (you would own 25% of the plane title) I can deed it as a partnership, corporation, or LLC, doesn't matter to me. I have already paid the use tax, so there isn't a tax advantage going corporate now. I also don’t have to change the Title, your choice.
Costs.. T-hanger $65 mo, Figure the annual for about $1500 (pro rated for 2008), "I" do the owner assist route (you can help or not). Insurance will vary with your currency and times. (about $1k yr). You should plan on $150 mo for flying (or not), which covers ½ of the hanger & Insurance. Cost for each hour is the fuel (currently about $70hr), and a engine reserve $20hr. Funds will be kept in a joint account, at the local bank.
You should have 125 hrs min. preferably in a Cessna, with some complex time (RG/Prop). Insurance will require 2 to 6 hours dual depending on your log book. No dual if you are current in a 210. Do not plan on going from a Cessna 150 to the 210 with less than 10 hours dual instruction. It will probably be closer to 15hrs. (dual). I have over 1000hrs, IFR rating, Private Pilot. I am not an instructor nor can I fly for hire.
Please only serious pilots. This plane is best suited for trips over 300nm or heavy payload flying (4 Adults). It will carry 4 adults, with baggage, non-stop to SFO area, in 3.25 hrs! How about Ketchikan, yes Alaska, non-stop in 4 hours!
