I've heard good things about Great Plains. In fact, the insurance company I
got a quote from would only insure Revmaster, Aeroconversion and Great
Plains conversions.


I never bet against insurance companies.... sorta. g

Think about this, concerning life insurance....
The life insurance company bets that you are going to live.
The insured bets that he/she is going to die.
Should the insured really want to win the bet? bfg

Speaking on insurance...
Are you going to be insured for 1st flight?
If so, what are the insurance company requirements?

Personally, I find the twin-unreliable engine thread disturbing. In some
PRODUCTION twins, the best you can say for having two engines is that it
doubles your chance of an engine failure

Disturbing fer sure. Could be a dreamy eyed, totally
indestructible youth or....an adult without a shred
of sanity or possibly a subconscious death wish.

Doubling the engine trouble is anything but sane for
those of us that have real multi-engine flying savvy.
I can't imagine even Lloyds of London wanting a
piece of this kind of suicidal thinking or 'execution'.

I comprehend, but do not agree with, where the author is
coming from when he is banking on a high power to weight
unreliable 2 stroke to RELIABLY carry the crippled aircraft
to automatic safety and ready repairs.

Why not assume once safely on terra firma, one can zipper
in a 3rd engine that is to be carried along in the baggage
compartment? Why be inconvenienced one wit while cock-
a-mayme dreaming out loud to one's internet wannabe buddies?

In fact...
JAY, if you were a true world class concept DREAMER...
You'd be advocating at least *FOUR* UNRELIABLE ENGINES.
