<p>I was quoted 3500. Rusty pilot. Called around and found 1800. May just fly w/o insurance and stay away from the cities here in AZ.</p>

<p>$1176 for my CH601XL-b with 25k hull value.</p>
<p>$1382 for my Grumman AA-5B with 75k hull value.</p>
<p></p>
<p>EAA Falcon. I built the Zodiac, and so was already a customer when I bought the Tiger. My Zodiac was their poster airplane on all their advertising for a couple years, but I don't think that made any difference in my premiums.</p>
<p></p>
<p>PPSEL, live in TX, with just under 500 hours documented. No claims ever, no DUI's, etc.</p>

<p>in 2019 I was quoted over $5k with AVEMCO before going to EAA/FALCON. I got a policy for $1700 from hour zero with $85k hull value. I could have gotten $1400 on the renewal for the company I am with now but chose to stay with AIG until the next year when they jumped another $500. Still paying about $1700. I Should up the hull value now that I added constant speed prop.</p>

<p>Update...</p>
<p>We've been bound for a week now. The underwriter is willing to cover the cfi for self check out ... 3 hours solo. On my brand new-ish 5 hour o350. Nice right? The only alternative I have at this point would be to get him a zenith check out locally... but I still haven't had one reply from a single local owner within 100 miles.</p>

<p>I think you're misinterpreting that statement. EVERY category of aircraft poses a unique risk to the national aviation system. Experimentals are no different in that regard. That statement merely highlights the fact that different aircraft categories produced under different manufacturing standards represent unique risks, and thus have different operating standards intended to mitigate those risks. You can certainly argue a bias against Experimental category aircraft from some at the FAA,…</p>

That statement merely highlights the fact that different aircraft categories produced under different manufacturing standards represent unique risks, and thus have different operating standards intended to mitigate those risks.

<p>To be honest I don't have any faith in environmentally forced industrial design or chemistry, I mean look what happened with the vaccine.... I'd bet you a sushi dinner a green ga gas will be as "safe and effective" as MRna technology.</p>
<p>My gripe is based on the daily abiding question bouncing around in my hollow nugget.....</p>
<p>How are we going to adapt? At a certain point, is ga eventually going to die the death of 10000 paper cuts?</p> Guy..

<p>My comment was a lament that we are all getting hit from every angle possible. It makes me mad as hell, not simply because my living is based on ga but because it’s part of my heritage going back to ww2 and before on both sides of the pond. </p>
