Matt,
I had a similar experience . . . when I asked the agent she got kind of
snippy with me and told me that=99s what they needed to cover
their expenses? Not when everyone else can do it for less!
Mine=99s for first flight and in type experience becomes an issue
and Avemco had the most liberal restrictions there follow by EAA.
I=99m waiting on some paperwork and the airworthiness inspection .
. . I believe I=99m going to go with EAA (Falcon).
Regards,
Bob Christensen =93 N83RC . . . still waiting!

I've been shopping for a new year of insurance on the RV-8 (current
policy is up on 3/20) and got quotes from Avemco, AOPA, and the EAA
(Falcon). The quotes 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.
Anyway, thought I'd share my experiences.

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.

| Subject: | Re: Carpet Source |
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.

Hey Matt,
That was my first place to look as I bought my seats there years ago.
But no dice.
=46rom their web site:
We don't offer products for the RV-10 at this time. The main reason for
this is that we have decided to continue to focus on our current
products. We plan to further refine and then expand the items that we
make for the RV-7, RV-8, and RV-9.
