Default Passed 500 hour mark

After my week long trip from Co to SC, To Gettysburg, To Ind, and back the hobbs meter read 502. It has been 3.5 years since I finish my RV7A. What a great way to get around and see new things.

Default 500 hours

Impressive hours. I enjoy reading about others that built and then fly the stuffin out of the plane. All that time and work, nice to see it being well used.

Update us at 1000 hrs!

500 is a lot of hours. Keep her in great shape and don't stop flying...

Thumbs up

Congratulations.

I'll probably make the 500 hr mark right around Osh Kosh, so I know how it feels (almost).

Default Right behind you

Around 470 hrs after my son flew 24 hrs in the last two weeks. It hurts the billfold but he's trying to build hours and it's cheaper if he does it in my RV. Poor kit, has to fly an RV instead of renting a Cessna 150.
