Hours will be 70ish.
@FANS, it may be that owning a new aircraft is well within your means and is a part of the landscape of private flying. From a simple economic perspective it wouldn't appear to be the best option, but there is undoubtedly something pretty special about owning something pristine outright.

From an engineering perspective I do wonder what the effects will be of flying an aircraft for around an hour or two a week (and possibly a lot less in Winter?). Are you planning to lay the plane up properly when it's not going to be used? Perhaps I'm unduly pessimistic, but it does appear that there will be a huge amount of work for a relatively limited upside.
