    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.
    Yup, I'm that way. It's been very hard to get into the air lately and a couple days ago Sunday, I raced to the airport after doing the shopping thing, at least it was Cabalas, got 5 gals and I was on my way. By the time I got to the airport, not even 15 minutes, things were starting to look bad. I thought I'll stay in the pattern, got the plane out and got seated, looked over at the hill and it was gone. It also started to snow real good. so I pushed er back in the hangar.

    Getting my Sport Pilot, but flew in a friends Model II for 10 minutes early in my training and can't really say I had control of the plane. This plane is so different than a 182, remos or citabrea. I would like to try the II now that I have more experience.

    Wow! That's 386 hours per year average!
    I haven't seen anyone to beat Floog yet. Am I wrong?

    Floog, that is fantastic! You are a full fledged Kitfox Aviator.

    Not sure exactly what hours Stick & Rudder log but as far as a private individual goes, there might be one higher.


    Ray Volk, Phoenix, AZ. Model 5 Safari.

    1550 hours in just 2 years.

    I still marvel at those numbers.

    I put over 300 hours a year on my model 3 back in 1999 - 2001 but I couldn't keep up with Ray. He went through two engines and maybe 5 or 6 different props in that time. A real experimentor.

    Papa (Desertfox1) said "Ray was part of the air".
    Papa said Ray was the insperation for starting the Desert Fox Squadron in 2000.

    R.I.P. Desertfox3.
    We miss him every day still.

    Well maybe Floog you can up your game a little, to try to catch Ray's numbers.
