I'm getting close to finishing so I fired off an application to NationAir for a quote request. I have 106 hours TT, 5 hours of tailwheel, 5 hours/endorsement for complex. I also have an RV-9A endorsement from Sam Benjamin. I'm getting transition training right now in an RV-6A. I listed my wife on the quote who only has 70 hours and no RV time. I intend(ed) to do the Phase 1 testing myself. AIG declined to give me a quote! They didn't want me flying the test hours due to my low TT. If I had someone fly off my time, the 'indication' was $2800! To be honest, I was floored. I had not anticipated getting insurance to be a problem at all.. and now I'm faced with a pretty large premium IF I have a test pilot fly my time. (Indication was the first 5-10 hours.) I'm curious what my fellow RV-9 flyers have experienced. What sort of premiums are you paying based on Total Time? Did you fly off your hours? (Reply off list if you desire.) Frustrated...

I had about 480 total time, about 200 T/W and a RV9 checkout with Mike Saeger. This was 2 years ago but I paid $1600 and that was with $75k hull coverage. Last year it went up to over $1800. I did my own test flight and flew off the hours. This is with Nation Air.

I'm sure you'll get coverage at a decent rate. It's well worth the cost of joining if you haven't already.
