I don't see how that could be. One year at Oshkosh there was a special display area for homebuilts with over 1000 hours. There were just a handful. Bill Hannahan's Lancair was one of them. On the other side of the runway were thousands of spam-cans, all certified. I'll bet that none had less than 1000 hours, and most had more than 2000 hours.

Further, every experimental for sale in Trade-a-Plane or ASO.com seems to have between 100 and maybe 500 hours. Virtually all spam cans have thousands.

As to the real question -- do homebuilt owners fly their airplanes more hours per year than spam can owners -- I have no idea.

p.s. I do not use the term "spam can" as pejorative. I used to own one and had a lot of fun with it.
