Hi Chad,
 
I originally was covered by AVEMCO, but switched when their rates kept going up the more hours I got.  I am now covered by AIG through SkySmith. If you do try through SkySmith be certain and mention you are using Real World Solutions products (EC2, Gearbox, etc), SkySmith is aware of Tracy Crook and the quality of his products.  Also, I was able to point out I had  a number of articles published in a number of magazines about the rotary engine in aircraft.  That all seemed to help - I believe.
 
Specifically, I had 450 hours flight time, 200 in my RV-6A, when I went with SkySmith.  I do not know whether he will cover first flights.   I have $60,000 Hull and normal liability for less than $1200/year.

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!
