This is probably a question I should have asked before I began building, but I've been wondering lately how much time I should expect to invest in maintenance after I've completed my aircraft. It seems like rental aircraft are always going to the shop to have something fixed, but given they're used for primary instruction it's hard to know if that's what I should expect of my own. And of course reading the forums all one tends to see are problems.
So for those of you who have already finished your projects and flown off the phase 1 hours, how much time do you spend doing maintenance and repairs, or tweaking things that are quite right versus actually flying?
Thanks!
