My apologies, BOb...guess I misinterpreted your previous post.

Not necessarily, but...
very nice of you to put it that way. g

In article , - Barnyard BOb -
says...


Average annual flight time since first flight = 42.94 hours

Well done, BOb...if my fingers and toes don't deceive me, you must be
flying about 90-95 hours per year.

How about it? Any other homebuilt owners want to chime in with their
approximate average annual flight time?

Ron W/Fly Baby 40 hours
BOb U/RV-3 95 hours

This year 38.5 in my CGS Hawk a bit lower than usual but weather was crappy a
lot of the time.

Without knowing the number of flight hours involved,
accurate safety details and analysis are destined
to remain shrouded in much fog, mystery and hype.

Certainly. But of course, we'll probably never have that sort of
data,
unless the EAA does a membership survey. We can't fully rely on the
online
NTSB accident reports, either, because they only mention the engine
type
when engine-related problems were a factor in the accident. Unless
we pay
for and analyze the hard-copy reports, we don't know how many of the
other
2200+ homebuilt accidents since 1990 involved auto-engine
homebuilts.

Download the NTSB database files. There are fields for engine
make/model, airframe hours, and a bunch of other useful stuff.

Cool! Hadn't looked into those, before. Looks like my evenings are shot
for a while.... :-)

I've flown in light snow with my RV-3 wearing nothing more than
a hawaiian short sleeved shirt and a smile.

Nothing more?

TMI -- too much information

Sydney (but wasn't the walk to the hangar kind of...blue?)

By the way, where's that box?

You know, that box you use, to step up on, and kiss my butt!
