Greetings,

 

My hanger lease requires that I have a liability insurance policy that covers at least $300k in property damage.  For the past year, I’ve had a builders policy for the RV-3B from Avemco, but that runs out in June.  Since I expect to be flying by the end of June, I asked Avemco about a normal liability policy, and they said can only offer me 100K/100K/1M coverage for my plane.  This won’t do, so Avemco is out.

 

They suggested that I could call Falcon, since I guess they took over the EAA program last year.  I also recall that SkySmith is a pretty reasonable outfit when it comes to homebuilts.   I’ll call both of these tomorrow, to see what they can offer for the RV-3B.  Are there any other companies I should call?  Anyone had any particularly good experience in regard to companies accepting rotary engine aircraft? 

 

FWIW, I really have two problems when it comes to insurance.  One is the usual auto engine problem, and the other is the RV-3 wing stigma.  I have the new wings, and my plane is registered as RV-3B, so I hope I can avoid some of that.   I really only need $300k liability, but it would be nice to find a company that would offer full coverage if I ever wanted it. 

 

All comments appreciated.  Thanks.
