Chad,

It is my belief that the Lycosaurus folks are propagating the myth that you
can't insure your airplane unless it has a certified engine.  I insured
through Sky Smith Ins.  I hadn't anticipated having to get insurance before
renting a hangar at the municipal airport, but they wouldn't rent to me
until I had it (with the city named on the policy).  So, it wasn't IF I
wanted to insure my project, but that I MUST insure it, or I couln't move it
to the airport.  This was "not in motion" coverage.  Later, when I was ready
for first flight, it wasn't a problem.  And they covered me from first
flight on.

I would highly recommend that you use Tracy's products.  That is one
question they asked me and once I confirmed that I was using RWS redrive and
engine controller, the rest was pretty painless.  Premium was $2900 for
$100,000 hull value.

Mark S.
