Because the plane probably costs $300/hr to operate, and the rest will be left to reasons unknown. You figure fuel burn of 40gph since those engines are comparable to the ones in the Navajo's, I'd say you're burning $160-200/hr in fuel, the rest in Mx, that's probably about right.

Definately an interesting aircraft, I've flown in one once and it's just easiest to describe it as different.
