Yeah, you can't beat EAA/Falcon for the first year because they will cover the
Test Flight and the First Ten Hours. Avemco made a point of the fact that they
didn't cover either. Okay, I get that, but a year later and with 153 hours
on the RV-8, 153 hours in my logbook in type, and with no incidents, I would have
expected a significant drop. Falcon only came down $100 from last year.
Avemco when UP by $2k.

from the AOPA and EAA were close, although the AOPA came in $500 cheaper than
the EAA's this year. But here was the shocker. Avemco's quote was 2.3 times
higher than the AOPA's quote! I called Avemco to make sure that they just hadn't
done something wrong. It was right. That's just crazy. Apparently Avemco
doesn't really want to write Experimental polices.

Talk with Luke Doughton luked@classic.aero at Classic Aero. They did the upholstery
and carpet on my RV-8 and I couldn't be more pleased. On the carpet for
the RV-8, I did spend a good deal of time laying out exactly what I wanted on
CAD, printing it on a plotter, adjusting the fit, then updating the CAD, etc.
But when I finished that process, I just emailed the CAD file to Luke, and he
converted it into a carpet that literally fits like a glove. I was very impressed.
Quality of the carpet is excellent and Luke makes sure it is fire treated
as well.

Best upholstery and carpet available for RV's in my opinion.
