    Subject: insurance rates
    From: "Frazier, Vincent A" <VFrazier@usi.edu>
    --> Rocket-List message posted by: "Frazier, Vincent A" <VFrazier@usi.edu> SNIP I'd like to get some current info on insurance for the Rockets, both Harmon and F1. If you are willing to share: - What is your experience level? (Total hours, hours in type or similar type) - What levels of insurance do you carry? - What are the premiums for same? I'm trying to do a comparison of these rates against the RV-7/8 series as a possible decision point on what I build. Thanks. - AlanSNIP Alan, I've got about 400+ hours, mostly in tailwheel RVs. I got a quote Friday for over $7000 to insure my Rocket. :-O I received another quote a few months ago for $3300 and thought that was bad so I kept looking. I suppose I should've jumped on it. Looks like I'll be flying naked! Recommendations welcome! Vince

    Subject: Re: insurance rates
    --> Rocket-List message posted by: LesDrag@aol.com Hi All, Don't set the hull coverage too low. If the damage equals the hull coverage, the insurance company owns your aircraft for the covered amount.

    Subject: Re: insurance rates
    --> Rocket-List message posted by: "Richard Bibb" <rebibb@comcast.net> One caution on setting your hull value too low. If you have some sort of accident you might find the insurance company wants to total the plane even if you want to fix it. When they total it they take it all, you engine, prop, avionics, etc all of which might be OK and usable in a repaired airframe. I know of a guy that had a cub taht was damaged by hail (on the ground not in the air). He is an A&P and wanted to recover the aircraft and wanted the 15K or so he insured it for to pay for the materials, etc. The insurance company totaled it and now he has 15K but no Cub.
