Insurance Quotes

Has anyone gotten insurance quotes to cover their plane with an AeroMomentum engine? I have heard from a few guys in the local EAA chapter that you are unlikely to get insurance coverage if you use pretty much anything other than a lycoming, continental, or rotax. This is just hearsay but curious if anyone has shopped around for insurance.

    Hey Dustin, 

     I am actually in the process of investigating this to make sure it is easy for everyone. I did speak with Sky Smith during the Zenith event very briefly and he mentioned two or three companies that he works with that wouldn't have a problem with it as long as the pilot had sufficient time etc. I will post my findings and options as well soon. I will NOT be self insuring so this is high priority for me as well.

      Not sure what the engine has to do with it but I had no difficulty getting insurance for my 650 a couple of months ago.

        Those guys at your local EAA chapter don't know what they're talking about.

        I had no problem getting insurance when I was running a Corvair (that I'd built myself).  Indeed, it was a photo of my airplane that was on all the EAA insurance brochures for a couple of years.
