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! From: Matt Dralle Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 8:53 PM rv7-list@matronics.com Subject: RV8-List: RV-8 Insurance... 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. - Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's RV-8 Construction Log http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8 - Matt's RV-8 HDTV YouTube Channel Status: 150+ Hours TTSN - Paint Job Is All That's Left To Do... ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:24:31 AM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: RV8-List: Re: RV-8 Insurance... 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. - Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's RV-8 Construction Log http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8 - Matt's RV-8 HDTV YouTube Channel Status: 150+ Hours TTSN - Paint Job Is All That's Left To Do...

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. http://www.classic.aero Best upholstery and carpet available for RV's in my opinion.

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.
