Chad,

 

I insured through Sky Smith.  I did have considerable tail dragger time, and a couple of hours of professional instruction in another RV-6, so he was able to insure me fully from the first wheel turn.  Runs about $1200/yr for $60,000 hull and lots of liability.

Okay, this may be a touchy subject, I don't know...but, I need to know what I can expect in the future for insurance if I am going to make this happen.

Are you able to get insurance?  I ask that first, because I've been made aware that it is very difficult to get for first flight/phase I, and if you get it, it's VERY expensive.

 

So, next question...What kind of premiums are being paid?  Hull values?

 

Where are you getting it, if you have it?

 

Thanks!
