1000.0 hours

[guccidude1]

Landed today and the Hobbs meter read 1000.0 even. My -9A will be 6 years on next month so if I divide 1000 by 6 that equals 1.66666 hours per year. Not bad for a slacker. Just as a note, that equates to 600-700 gallons per year with 10% ethanol mogas from Sam's club and occasionally mixed 100LL when on the road away from Reno Stead. Dan

I think your decimal needs to be tightened up it appears to have slipped!

Congratulations!

I noticed your comment on using mogas E10.
Have you used mogas over the entire 6 years?
Were we live, next door in CA, mogas is generally more than a dollar less than avgas.
Keep it up and let us know a little more about your fueling habits
as well as your engine set up.
FWIW, I am doing the same in my RV-10 coming up on 170 hours in a little over a year.
