If you've insured a factory plane through a local agent, give them a=20
call. You might find that an agent that knows you combined with the 'RV' =

in the plane's name can get you coverage at a reasonable price  by=20
calling the right underwriter & pleading your case.

Thanks, but I've never owned (and probably never will) a factory plane. =
This
is my third homebuilt, the last one being an RV-8 that I built and flew =
for
2 years.  I had that plane insured with NationAir, at a good rate, no
claims, etc.  Unfortunately, when I bought the RV-3, and announced my
intentions to use a rotary engine, NationAir said there was no way they
could cover it.  Realize that I had an active policy with them at the =
time
for the RV-8, and they STILL wouldn't consider it.  This was all =
discussed
on the RV list, so you could look up their statements in the archives.  =
Of
course things change, and they may even be able to offer it now, but I
probably won't call them.

I called Falcon today, and they said they would be able to offer =
coverage,
and told me an agent would call me back as soon as they got off the =
phone.
That was about 10 hours ago.  Must be a long call :-)=20

I also called SkySmith, and they seem like the right people to be =
talking
to. They said they would be able to offer anything from liability only, =
to
full coverage, and they're getting me quotes for liability only.=20

Cheers,
Rusty
