    I had 300 plus hrs. on a 2012. My first build went in the air in March it has 210 hrs. and my second build has 40. Make sure you clean the breather tube, inside the exhaust, every oil change as it will plug up solid. Blew out a front seal on the first plane. I use a bore brush, .410 or .44 is about the right size. Enjoy!

    Keep an eye on the carb heat box, shaft bushings wear out.

    Good advice; I checked mine and it needed cleaning.

    Great machines. Like every other plane there are things to watch for.

    Great tip on the breather tube. Was wanting to see if anyone has 1000 , 2000 or more hours on their CC and what to expect on engine and airframe.
