The other flying club on our field has just been told by Avemco that they

any more. Since we've got a Lance as well, we're trying to get a
confirmation from Avemco. If true, this is a big blow.

I wonder if they'd insure a Cherokee 6?


I don't know the real reason, but a Cherokee 6 isn't complex, its High
Performance. Maybe that's the hot button.

Complex = constant speed prop and electric flaps. The 6 still use the
Johnson Bar flaps?


Whatever it is, I don't agree with a blanket denial of coverage like
that. Aren't they in the Insurance Business?

Speaking of insurance... A friend is looking at a Sirrus 22. The
insurance is higher than they quoted me for a G-III first year.
Neither was cheap, but still, the Sirrus was about 1/3 the insurance
for a brand new TBM-700 while the G-III was only a quarter.

My G-III is not flying yet so it's not an issue... yet.
