I don't think anyone is going to push it unless its one of us.  I would volunteer to collect the data and compile it (old retired folks need something to do {:>)).  But, first, I would like to see if I can get Bob Macky to at least get from the insurance companies a  set of the data they are interested in.  I am certain flying hours of pilot and plane is one datum, but there could be other such as are your motor mounts professionally make, dual fuel pumps, etc.
 
I'll fire off an e mail to Bob and see if he would perhaps put me in touch with some insurance types to see what type data would be meaningful to them.
 
I like you idea of pointing out the potential market of  rotary flyers

Attached, is a series of e mails I exchanged with Bob Mack of the EAA staff, who appears to have a good understanding of the Insurance problem.  While he does not at this time offer any pancreatic solution, he does offer some suggestions and does indicate it is not impossible to find insurance.

Nice correspondence Ed.  What do you think it would take to move this along further?  What if we put together a list of folks that are flying, with the number of safe hours.  A list of the many, many builders who are nearing completion would demonstrate the potential customer base that an insurance company could expect.  Mind you, I'm not volunteering to put together this list :-)
 
Cheers,
Rusty  (fingers crossed, waiting for my renewal notice from Sky Smith)
