Stop me, before I do something crazy...

Has to be valued at least $350K First years insurance is $12,000. Yikes, that's a lot of money, but for a $350k, 300+ mph, retract homebuilt it does not seem that far out of whack. I did a quick Google groups search and see rates from $5-10k quoted for Mooney Bravos and SR22s (similarly priced & one is a retract). AOPA got me a quote of $3K for $1M smooth, $300K hull on a Turbo 182T. -- Dan |

What kind of hours/safety courses do you have in your background that resulted in such a low quote for $1M smooth at that hull value? I just re-upped with USAIG and am paying $2900 for the '73 Bonanza with a hull value around $170k (TKS, new engine, tip tanks, new avionics, turbo-normalized), not $1M smooth. This quote with an IFR rating and about 1,200 total hrs, 600 hrs in the insured aircraft. Or is the difference due to the fact that the Bo is a retractable? -- Peter |

What kind of hours/safety courses do you have in your background that resulted in such a low quote for $1M smooth at that hull value? I have 900 hours of retract time insured with them with no claims, accidents or incidents. Still, they won't cover me until I get 4 hours of dual on a G1000-equipped airplane.

I was paying about $2K for $1M smooth, $90K hull on my 172RG. -- Dan |

But does that 12k cover the entire hull value? I would doubt that it
would. It may cover partial value or liability and not in motion. There's a Bo owner I know of that has spent so much on restoring his airplane that the insurance company will no longer insure it for what he's got into it. Something like 200k spent and maximum hull coverage of around 125k. The insurance companies will cover an "agreed" value but it's a value they have to accept as reasonable.

I don't mean just because it's an experimental - I'm wondering if an insurance company would accept an agreed value that high.

Drool: http://rv6rick.tripod.com/ohiovalleyrvators/id19.html -- Dan this wont be popular... It certianly is a great airplane and this particular model looks to be well built...but color me as someone not all that impressed or at the very least "turned off" by the sticker. (of course I say that about a 182 for 1/4 million dollars). Private airplanes do two things...they bring joy and transportation. An airplane this costly has to justify itself in someway, we are talking "house" price here. Look I like women in uniform and women who are tough "broads" (to quote my fiance..falling in love again after my wife passed away)...so I am (again to quote her) "wierd" in terms of what appeals to me. but I dont see how one justifies spending that much money on personal transportation...and spending that much money on personal "fun". There is a LOT Of "ego" here. and for the most part (looking at the electronics) it is more ego then most 100-200 hour a year pilots can master and stay current in. Robert |

Why does it need to be justified, Robert? Did you ever see a Brinks truck in a funeral procession? There is a LOT Of "ego" here. There is a lot of "judging" here. and for the most part (looking at the electronics) it is more ego then most 100-200 hour a year pilots can master and stay current in. Not a problem, it seems to me. If this were my airplane, I'd fly 100+ hrs of IFR/year in it. I guarantee you I'd have it mastered. -- Dan "Fiction was invented the day Jonah arrived home and told his wife that he was three days late because he had been swallowed by a whale." -Gabriel Garcia Marquez |
