I believe it's been mentioned before but is it true that no insurance
company will provide even liability coverage for the first 40 hours on a
new Piet?

I know this isn't my party but I can't remain quiet any longer on this
issue. There's no way any party is authorized by any CFR to demand
'proof of insurance' on your aircraft during a ramp check. No such proof
is required to be in the aircraft. No state law requires it nor do the
FAA or the NTSB. Here's a guide from June 2004 which is germaine to the
ramp check.
http://www.globalair.com/discussions/legal_services/article~/msgID=22
If someone with a bad attitude and a valid FAA ID wants to see it, you
don't have to produce it, nor do you have to admit your aircraft is
uninsured. It's just not part of the formula.
Now, that said, here are some parties who have a valid reason to ask to
see your insurance binder (none of which require it be in the aircraft):
- The operator of your field may be under some insurance requirements,
too. If they are, they often want proof that the aircraft is insured
before allowing you to base it on their ramp, in their hangars and so
on.
- IF something does happen to you and something gets damaged or someone
gets hurt, the court may decide to examine your character as part of
determining your sense of responsibility. This may or may not strike
anyone as a reasonable way to measure your ability to be responsible but
that doesn't prevent some trained leach from attempting to paint you
negatively if you aren't carrying a binder.
All that said, I agree that insurance (and the amount you carry) is a
wager of your ability to not harm anything against the odds that
something will get bent. And, like you folks, I often wonder why I'm
paying for that subscription. One way to get out from under the
installment plan is to bond yourself. Yes, the money is not free to use
while it's backing a bond but you can build interest on the funds
backing your bond.
I'll go back under my rock now (where I wish I was working on a Piet).

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Hegy 72 x 42 to trade for A-75 prop
Pieters,
I've got a very nice Hegy 72 x 42 on NX520SF, perfect prop for an
A-65.....but mine is an A-75 so I'm not getting the desired
rpm/horsepower out of it. Turns 2200 static, 2400 at WOT level flight
on a cool day with a fresh tight A-75.
I'd like to offer it up for trade if someone has a similar but flatter
pitch prop, I'm guessing a 72 x 40 would be about right. I ran into a
fellow at Sun n' Fun with an A-75 on a Grasshopper running a Sensenitch
72 x 38, but you can't directly compare different manufacturers. He said
it pulled 2550-2600 climbing out, so it was definitely a climb prop.
If you're interested please email me directly and I"ll reply with
photos. It's not perfect after 80 hours on a grass field, has the usual
little nicks on the epoxy leading edge from all the bugs down here in
Florida, but is still a beautiful prop.

Well, not that I could see with a quick check....however...you are
required to register your plane with the State (and pay the appropriate
tax) and to get that registration one thing you must do is provide
proof of insurance. So, if you're registered, you're insured. Unless
you let it lapse, but even in the case of a ramp check, they'd never
know unless they called the company to be sure it's still in force,
kinda like the insurance cards in our cars..they all LOOK find, but
they don't know you've been cancelled untill you hit something and
turns out you're not covered! But also just like cars, eventually i bet
someone at the insurance outfit tells someone in a regulatory office
that you're not covered!
Tim in Bovey
Yep, that is not a surprise, BUT there is no requirement for proof of
insurance in the aircraft to satisfy any line or ramp check,
correct?

I have another airplane ( a 1961 172B) which satisfies more people than
just me, has an enclosed cockpit, etc., a job that eats more than 60
hours a week, and so on.
The Piet is a fun dream at this point. Before I start one, I'll first
buy a core Continental O300-D, rebuild it (under supervision), can it
and then start thinking about building a Piet in the basement of a
Chicago bungalow where all my neighbors already have me cast as
eccentric, individualistic (I don't bleat very well) loud. ;)
So I'll watch you guys for a while, learn what I can and maybe before I
die, I'll sacrifice some spruce and STP. Something about the Piet is so
much more attractive than an RV-*.

I didn't have any type of insurance till I completed the test period of 40
hrs, and got some tailwheel time under my belt...although the only tailwheel
training I got before flying my Piet, was 1/2 hr in a J3 cub, with about 3 or 4
landings. I now have Avemco (liability), but I've never been ramp checked. I
can't recall anyone I know, saying they've ever been ramp checked.

I have no doubt of that, either. The point is, though, that a ramp check
carries no requirement for your bond papers. When you check the FARs,
they are the sole set of guidance for what must be with you and in the
airplane.
Not gonna quote, but we are required to have only our medical and our
'license'. Your airplane must have it's Airworthiness Cert, Weight and
Balance, Registration (there's your proof in your state), appropriate
placards, operating limitations and a POH , if the aircraft has one.
Note that a Radio License is no longer required.
There are additional items, including a great gotcha for older
airplanes, like charts, flashlight and a checklist with specific parts
(which is the gotcha element for older airplanes, Check 91.503, it's a
killer as it's marked for Turbine and Large aircraft but elements of it
are pr).
But nowhere is there any requirement for proof of insurance during a
ramp check. That's all my point is. It has nothing to do with whether
you should or shouldn't be covered. You just don't need proof of it in
the airplane, that's all.

Hey list,
Just wanted to add a few cents of my own (or a dollar) to the
jackpot of comments so far. I previously stated my
views/understanding about ability to obtain insurance and my plans to
at least do the test period without it, because it would be much more
difficult, not impossible, and more expensive to get day one coverage
for the first flight, because I wouldn't have much time in type, or
tailwheel time.
As for ramp checks and such, I'm not aware of very many if any
other states other than Minnesota, that require any kind of
insurance. Airport owners maybe, banks holding the loan for kitplanes
maybe, but not the state itself. In ohio, car insurance liability is
required for all drivers/cars, and there are now big penalties for
not having your plane registered with the state, no matter what its
condition, but no requirements for planes to be insured for liability
or otherwise. The "everything must be registered" rule is kind of a
bummer for anyone who has several "I'm gonna restore that someday"
projects lying around, and the fine is more than what registration
costs so it's easier to register and be legal. I have not heard of
any requirement to show proof of insurance at the time of
registration for Ohio, I will have to look into that, but I doubt it.
Something else to consider, I believe most charity flight groups
and the Young Eagles program does require coverage for passengers,
though I could be wrong, so going without would mean all of your
rides for the kids would have to be unofficial. I will probably end
up with at least third party liability, and possibly
passenger/property coverage after the test period is over, just
because my tolerance for losing all I own to lawyers is low, and the
insurance cost also, sometimes, buys you defense representation,
which could be worth your premium if you need it, though the AOPA
Legal assistance would be better. One thing I know I won't get is
Hull coverage. I'm building from scratch and I will hold the
repairman certificate, so I would be fixing whatever breaks. It's too
much hassle to pay what could add up to almost another plane over 15
years, and then find out that I still must pay a deductible and that
someone else has to give an estimate and do the work for my claim to
be paid. Or worse, it's a day ending in 'y' and they refuse to pay
the claim because of it. I'd rather put that money in a pietenpol
maintenance fund than never see it again. This all assumes that GA
hasn't been user fee-d and taxed into oblivion when the plane's done.
Thanks to whoever posted the globalair link, great articles about
lots of stuff.(Graham?)I had forgotten about it.
I'm sure it's obvious but what's the abbreviation PLPD mean? Is it
not for polite company or am I just slow?
Sorry this rambled, I'll keep the damage minimal... DO NOT ARCHIVE
Feel free to correct, dispute, and/or clarify my opinions and facts.

Subject: | Visit to the USA |
Hi everyone!
Let me introduce myself, my name is Steve Bryan, I live in the UK and I've
been building a Pietenpol for nine years now (I'm a slow worker!). In fact,
there's even a picture of me and some mates with my Corvair engine in Chet
Peek's 'Pietenpol Story'! I've been 'lurking' on this list for a long time
and have learnt a lot just by following along, but this is my first post.
The reason that I'm finally posting is because I'm going to be in the USA
next month for the Formula One Grand Prix at Indianapolis (it's a car race,
I work on brakes and clutches for the cars) and I thought I might try to
plan a little Pietenpol tourism! I thought I could drive up from Chicago to
look at the EAA museum at Oshkosh and maybe call in for a look at Brodhead?
I know there won't be any fly-in taking place, but I've heard there are a
lot of interesting aeroplanes based there?
Does this plan sound feasible in the couple of days I will have? Any other
suggestions for places to visit in the vicinity? I would appreciate any
guidance.
Thanks a lot.
