After the shock of getting a $7500 quote, I called Falcon to see if
their earlier $3300/yr quote was still available. According to Ladd
Gardner, it was.
This was for $120K hull, etc..
The premium was $1600 for ground and taxi coverage only, i.e. no runway
or flight coverage.
FWIW, Falcon can be reached at 1-866-647-4322 or 1-866-620-4422

I'm curious if anyone can explain why / how our airplanes wag their tails
..... particularly in light turbulence.

Somebody I met and spoke to about this tufted the rudder on his RV-6 with
yarn, and the chase plane witnessed separation on one side as the tail
wagged in turbulence. Basically the tail wags left, and you get separation
on the right side of the rudder...low pressure, so the rudder gets sucked
right. The plane weathervanes, the flow reattaches, and somehow the rudder
wags or whatever, and you get separation on the left side...repeat ad
nauseum.
From what I've been told, the new riveted trailing edge rudder on the newer
RVs helps alleviate this issue by keeping the flow attached deeper into
rudder deflection (?). Apparently the wagging is more pronounced on the
"folded" trailing edge rudders -- like my -7 has, and it wags quite a bit in
bumps if you don't hold firm foot pressure on it to keep it centered.
I have no idea if this is an accurate description of the problem, but it
makes a some sense to my feeble mind. 8-) I'm sure an aero expert here can
explain it better!
