Speaking of landing on the freeway
Because, just as the Bonanza, they tend to be "Doctor/Lawyer" airplanes
A C-210? Didn't think they had the same allure as Bonanzas & Barons for the MD/JD set... This insurance agent told me the 210 was a special case, I assume due to loss rate. There are some companies that won't write policies for 210s at all. I just can't figure what it is about that plane that would make getting insured such a hassle. |

Newer 210's are 6 place
Older 210's have a complicated gear & gear/door system that has caused some gear up situations. Large engine. Fast airplane. Some are pressurized. Some are turbo charged. Some are both. Combine any of the above and the insurance rates skyrocket. I talked to a 1988 C210 owner recently and he said that he was very willing to pay the extra premium for a turbo 210 over a non turbo 210, but when he asked about a pressurized T-210 the rate was absolutely astronomical.

I didn't see any 'holes' for the rear gear when it was being hauled away on the trailer. I thought 210's were all retracts. Maybe not. 1973 C-210L. Montblack |

Its a retract... Nonturbo'd... The gear tucks into the "doors" which close when its extended or retracted for better aerodynamics. Easiest way to tell is the way they look phunnie in the front when the gear is down... As I stated previously we shared hanger space with him in the jet hanger, my dad was kindly towards him and sublet space. He's on the airport commission (only active pilot) and was instrumental in trying to have several planes evicted over the manditory insurance rule instituted nearly a year ago now. His plane was stored outside at the time and he dearly wanted one of their T-Hanger slots. He recently got one a month ago, guess I need to see if its available... |

It costs me less to insure my Bonanza for 6 seats than it would to insure a 206 with 4 seats. Exact same hull value. |

My 182 was $1000 a year and had been for the last 5 years, $70K hull. |

My Bo is with Avemco. The quote for the 206 was when I was using

I have the fifth and sixth seat for my Bonanza but I haven't yet installed them because of fear of a large insurance increase (a rumor perpetuated by the previous owner). Also, there wasn't really a need until this year, now that the surprise third child is eight months old and ready to fly. -- Peter Not a doctor or a lawyer ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
