Last year at Oshkosh, I checked on a quote from Falcon which is the company that
EAA is going through. I have about 250 hrs private, instrument sel, with about
25hrs complex time. I know insurance has gone up slightly since then, but
I was quoted 1100.00 to 1500.00 with no mention of needing another test pilot.
As memory serves me, the insurance was quoted with use of a technical counselor,
as well as use of the EAA flight counseler programs. They also provide
builder's insurance as your homeowners insurance does not cover aircraft, and
the quoted premium was 10% of total value of what you currently have purchased.
I am not flying yet, so I did not purchase a policy. I cannot quote you
an exact price after the policy arrived so that would be a rough quote at best.
Remember too that it is rather foolish, but if the aircraft is paid for,
you will not necessarily have to have insurance to fly. Good luck

Gang....
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...

My recently issued policy from EAA/Falcon may provide a reference. RV9 (one of
about a dozen), $65000 hull value; 700 tail wheel, 725 total time.
3 hours dual instruction in type (RV6, RV7 or RV9). Mike Seagar had me well prepared
for the first flight.
Premium $1690.
The RV 9 is a smooth flying airplane. I experienced a slightly heavy wing on the
first flight which I was able to trim out until landing for final adjustments.
1 turn in on the opposite flap push rod (1/20") has it flying straight.
Level is another thing, at its speed it is real easy to gain or loose 200' while
you are watching something else.
You can see the finished product at the completions link of Vans web page.
