I have been insured by Avemco since 1997 with my Rotary Powered RV-6A. 
However, they were expensive,  I got a much lower price quote from AIG 
through SkySmith.  My understanding is that the type of aircraft, engine and 
pilot experience makes a considerable difference.  When SkySmith found out I 
was using Tracy Crooks products - he became much more interested in working 
with me.  I only have 525 hours but with 285 of that in my Rotary Powered 
RV-6A - so I suspect they feel the risk is somewhat lower with that many 
rotary hours.  Just an opinion of course.

FWIW
