I'm on the second engine and it has about 900 hours on it. I currently fly roughly 100 hours a year on it and I have an rv7 as well that I finished in 2008, I've put 1650 hours on that one now. I also put 100 hours a year on that one. When I fly I fly one, one day and the other the other day. I love to fly, what can i say. I am planning to go the the kitfox flyin in june so I will see you there. take care.
    I agree that is very impressive Steve! I hope the Lord allows me to live and fly long enough to put 3000 on farmfox! Thanks

    Larry do you remember how many hours was on it before you rebuilt Mangy Fox?

    You are a diehard airplane builder Darrel. Haha. One was enough for me even though I enjoyed building one.

    I don't mean to brag..... But I'm over 80 hours now.. But for only six months, that's not too bad.

    Paul 1800 is a lot of flying that you have put on that kitfox.

    Brandon, 80 is pretty good on one that the paint is just barely dry on. haha

    I should ask my buddy Stan to reply to this thread. I'm a real low-timer at just 250 hrs. I know he put 2400 hours on a 1200 hr. TBO 912 in his Mod. IV, before getting a new engine.

    It had about 200 hours TT engine and airframe when I bought it and took it apart. This is still the same engine with a Hal Stockman Zipper Big-Bore kit.
