You might try Scott at www.Skysmith.com. They have been able to write policies for rotary’s using Tracy’s gearbox and controller. Don’t know if they can obtain coverage for other conversion products. I think I also had a minimum number of flight hours before the policy went into effect. I don’t think anyone will write coverage for first flights.

Hi,
I have a Velocity XL-RG with a firewall aft setup from Geared Drives. I'm about ready to get final FAA signoff and do the test flight. Has anyone had good luck finding insurance? I tried EAA/Falcon and they were not interested due to the auto engine.
