Do any of you know where this data exists, or even if it does exist?

I'm curious about the true cost of ownership, in something like a Cessna 152 vs a Sonerai. The Cessna is easy to find, the experimental in something like the Sonerai is a little hard to find. True cost is something we all should be able to share with people who ask us what the difference is.

How cheap can a person fly a VW powered Sonerai for? Or perhaps even a Cassutt, or a Fly Baby, or a Baby Ace? any of the smaller airplanes.

I guess even a Sonex, or a Hummel Bird, CH701, CH750, CH650?????

Somebody on here must own an experimental and track the true cost right?
