They said until I have 200hrs total time and 25hrs tailwheel that no one would write a policy. I have about 100 hrs of Logged time in various spam cans and registered ultrallights and about the same amount of un- official time in my Firestar ( Pre-registration ). So what is a person to do besides run around "Naked in the Sky" until he builds enough time.

There are only a couple of actual underwriters out there of aircraft insurance policies and it's likely you'll just get turned down by the same people going through USUA. Give it a shot, but I BTDT getting insurance for my titan. Basically, you don't have a lot of choices, you're stuck with only one or two. Flying w/o insurance is perfectly legal tho - last I checked, FnAA makes the rules for aviation, not insurance companies. I say fly without it until you get the hours - trailer it to someplace that doesn't require insurance if you have to....

Sure glad I had my pants along for the ride when I ditched in the alfalfa two weeks ago. Made recruiting help a lot easier. Nettles would have been bad too. I did fly it back but the windy weather has kept me ground bound since then. This morning, all patched up, super preflight, gas still left over from the abbreviated flight, off I went. Beautiful day. Like with all modifications that give you that additional 5-10 mph, my radiator fairing seems to be functional. In addition the coolant recovery tank is still accessible. Prop repitched so I can get better than 5000 rpm on takeoff. Naked? (insurance that is) yup, I rarely carry a passenger, if I hit a house my worries are over. Only go into obscure strips and neighbor's. Hope somebody feeds the dog.

And...hours required? Only your pencil knows how many hours you've flown, maybe more, maybe less. Many, including me forget to log our hours on occasion. I've heard some say they flew their 40 hours off in one day, but I'm sure they were joking.

I apologize if this is a repeat. I need to move my Mark III Classic from NC to Ohio and plan to rent an enclosed truck. Can anyone tell me if i need a 24 foot or a 26 foot truck? Jim Mark III ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 06:03:16 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Trucking a Mark III From: "John Bickham" Jim, Having had to rescue my MarkIIIC from Texas in 2004. Go with the 26'. I used a 24' foot. It fit but ended up with extra nose rash. Hardware and fittings on the door cut into that 24' if I remember right. Also difficult to tie-down to prevent load shifting even a little bit. Suggest frequent stops in the first few hours to check that. Not good to get all the way home and find damage because bumpy roads shifted things around. Bigger will be better.
