    I got about 150 hours this year in my Kitfox, 310 hours total in my Kitfox, 420 hours total Kitfox time. I just can't stay out of these planes whenever the weather is decent.

    However Scott and Floog have even more Kitfox hours on a per year basis. Floog tell us what you are up to now in a very short time?

    I've got 50 hours in the 5 weeks I have been flying - now, if I keep that up for a year that will be ............. a bit excessive! Don't want to end up like Scott and Floog!!!!

    Merry Christmas Jim and to all of you here who have helped my project come to life!

    cheers from OZ

    I have 216.83 hours the last 12 months in my Kitfox. Total flight hours in my plane of 400.63 since February 2014. Just over 200 hours per year. Can't wait for the good weather to return. It's been pretty rainy here in the NW this winter!

    Merry Christmas!

    Mic,
    Good looking plane. With the round cowl, gear and the way the doors are done, it has a nice classic look.

    I've managed to put 190 hours on my SLSA since picking it in Homedale last March. Time has included Idaho, Utah and Nevada backcountry adventures along with working through to get my CFI last September. Most recent fun - teaching my son to fly - a fourth generation pilot in the making...

    Isn't amazing how hard it is to stay on the ground when you have a Kitfox?
    I've got 120 hrs since first flight in late June. I tend to experience withdrawal symptoms after not having flown it in a week.

    Mic,
    I had to laugh - at me. My first thought was that you made your goal of 2015 hours during 2015. I really appreciate your post as I definitely need the pointy stick to keep me pointed in the right direction. I am at about 1200 hours with 1000 of that in Model IVs. Not so many in my current IV, but things are coming together for a better year this year. Thanks again for the nudge. I would also like to second the thought on the great classic look.
