Anybody that has shopped for insurance before knows that it is difficult to figure out if your broker is giving you a good deal or not. If you go to a second broker for a quote they get a nasty note from the system the the risk has already been quoted. I was hoping to circumvent this by publicizing my experience, what I pay along with level of coverage and asking others to publicize the same. I'll cheerfully put together this data in a spread sheet that will create insurance quotes based on what people are paying. you'll be able to get your own quote and compare it to this to know if the quote is in the zone or not. If this works for RV-8's I'll try the same for other craft. so if you want to participate here is what I'll need: Premium $1801 hull value 100,000 Deductible $100 Liability limits $1,000,000 per incident Exp: 1300 hrs total time 1000 Tailwheel 335 RV-8 time SEL Com, IFR, Pri Gli. I know that the Hull value is the major component of the risk so knowing the rest of the coverage isn't critical. If you don't want to blast the info to the whole group send it directly to me. bjudge at gmail com I do this sort of backwards engineering for a living (operations research) so I think I can produce something of value for us all.

A beautiful fit, and picked up over 1.5 inches of manifold pressure. He also makes the scoop that can be adapted to Van's cowling. Check out hs web site.

I applaud your efforts to try to unscramble the prices of the "OPEC" of GA insurance. It seems to me if one broker could end up with an extraordinary chunk of the business the others may want to take a half loaf vs. no loaf. As this unfolds you may discover a path to lower the rates of prices "fixed" by the insurers. Regards ...
