How can I find this out without asking?
The maximum crosswind component specified by your instuctor for solo takeoffs and landings in the training aircraft is____knots?
I think it's 12 knots

Probably 12 knots. Cessna POHs did not include maximum crosswind components back in those days. I would feel comfortable however, that the aircraft could handle 12-15 knots without much difficulty. That does not mean that the pilot can handle it of course, if you have not received specific training in high crosswind takeoff and landing techniques, I would not go out and try to become a test pilot and determine it myself without someone who is very experienced in corsswwind techniques (and in possession of a valid CFI) sitting next to you.
Just as an add-on...your PoH will contain a maximum demonstrated crosswind component. this is not really a limitation, all it is saying is that a test pilot demonstrated 12 knots. Cessna did not want to publish a number any higher than that as it would have exposed them to an enormous amount of liability. (But it says in the book that it can land in 20 knots... Where's my $10 million?) In reality, good pilot skill can mean a successful landing in crosswind conditions much higher than that.

Ask you instructor, his/her limits are probably less than the aircraft limits.
12 knots sounds about right.
It is in the POH (usually on the first page and certainly in the limitations section) and is part of the certification process of the aircraft. It is based on a pilot with average experience. Student pilots should be limited to lower crosswinds and only land in them if they have had training (usually a pre-solo requirement).
Although many pilots can handle higher crosswind components don't exceed the maximum specified in the POH. When you do you are operating outside the conditions the aircraft was certified for and becoming an unpaid test pilot for Cessna.

The maximum demonstrated x-wind component is 15 knots. I would be surprised if you instructor's solo endorsement would allow more than 10 in the limitations he/she notes.If they have not Had much x-wind during you training thus far(for lack of wind for example)
it might/should be even lower!
You should consult you CFI on this matter. check the endorsements in your log book and you student pilot certificate.

Annual inspection costs vary greatly in different parts of the country. You will have to find an A & P, IA, in your area and get him to quote you a price. If he says $x, that is the labor only. If there is anything that has to be fixed, it may be $20 more or $2000 more. You may be able to save money by doing part of the work under the superevsion of said A & P. When you are done, you will know a lot more about your aircraft.

The manual should tell you of course, but it has more to do with your flight schools policies and procedures - what they are willing to allow students to do in their aircraft - that's the legal part - your instructor may or may not sign you off/allow you to go to the schools limit....regardless of what the aircraft can handle, your school will dictate what they are willing to allow in their aircraft.

The demonstrated component in the POH is 15knots I think. When I was training, we used a solo limitation of 10knots.
