If you really want a Ma Ma Maule. The insurance drops real fast. My 1st year was 6500 I had 0 TW time. 2nd year 3200. 3rd year 2800. 4th year 2400. Thats in 115K hull. It is not that bad once you build some hours in one.

Good day

Just curious what is the out-the-door cost on a skylight installation?

The Skylight is paperwork only. $90.00 for the paperwork, and it takes 20 to 30 hours to install on a covered airframe. To do it on a bare airframe that is getting re-covered it takes about an hour to weld in the pieces. The STC covers 2 lengths for the glass....Most people are installing the long one over the short. I am currently installing the long version in our Tri-Pacer. The last one I did on a covered airplane ran right at 1500.00 with all the parts and labor involved. That was at our old shop rate of $40.00, our rates are at $45.00 now.

This is a link to my FaceBook photo page of the skylight, you should not have to be a member in order to view these....
