Put in about 400 hours a year in the Six (my partner a little less)...I find that 1500 pound useful load suits the flying I do these days, even if she's a bit on the slow side.
The Six is a Great Plane and that Useful Load is Fantastic!
4000 hours a year is fantastic too! Who cares how fast one is going anyway as long as You are flying like a Bird for the First Time in Man’s History. My First Instructor and My Flight Examiner for my Private Ticket was Rated as an Examiner thru ATP and his License Number was 30,008. Only the thirty thousand man to be licensed in the U.S.! He told me to buy a plane no matter what. He then had a Mooney who nobody was allowed to touch except him. But his C-150 I flew
he and his wife flew all over the Country and he told me that He Loved it just as much as his Mooney. I am sure Bruce Story is flying now way beyond those Clouds we Love!
