    Default How many hours does your kitfox have on it?

    Farmfox rolled over 300 hours today after 20 months or flying. It got me wondering who has the highest time Kitfox still flying?
    Post your hours even if you don't think you have a high hour plane.

    Do the thousands in my mind count? No?... then still zero. ;-)

    Got confirmation Friday that FedEx is in possession of my Oratex.

    Still aiming to fly Spring 2025.

    Harlan - 274.5. But that doesn't count the hours sitting in it while building and making engine noises. Congrats on wearing yours out. Right now I'm putting on just over 50 hours per year. About a half the rate experienced the first year after completion. (But, I am well into my next build so that should count for something.)

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

    That is impressive - how many hours do you fly a year? How long have you owned it and did you put all those hours on it? I have 1375 hrs on mine but I have only flown about 150 of those.

    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

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