Betting on the come. (Scott Boyce) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 06:02:41 AM PST US From: linn Walters Subject: TeamGrumman-List: pfp There is a discussion going on about forming RV-10 safety seminars/proficiency training, and that got me to wondering if something along that line exists for our PFP instructors. I know that we don't have anything organized at our annual conventions like some groups do, but I'm ignorant about the qualifications/training that our PFP instructors go through. The direction the RV list discussion is taking is to try and reduce insurance premiums by taking the seminars and flying skills evaluation. That may not happen, but there should still be some better qualified pilots out there. Any comments??? Is this something the Grumman community might be interested in??? Linn ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:02:05 PM PST US Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: pfp From: teamgrumman@aol.com Hi Linn, it's not a bad idea. The question I have is, "How much is the RV-10 insurance?" and "How does that compare to the insurance for a Tiger?" I paid $860/yr in 1984 when I bought my first Cheetah (with a hull value of $10,000). I pay about $1000/yr now with a hull value of $80,000. I don't think there is much room for saving a lot more. But, I'm not an insurance broker; I only play one on TV. -----Original Message----- From: pitts_pilot@bellsouth.net Sent: Tue, 21 Nov 2006 6:03 AM Subject: TeamGrumman-List: pfp There is a discussion going on about forming RV-10 safety seminars/proficiency training, and that got me to wondering if something along that line exists for our PFP instructors.

Betting on the come. From: teamgrumman@AOL.COM Well, I did it. I cashed in an IRA so that I can pay for the cowling DER/DAR/Engineering approval paperwork. At least I can get it done. My gamble is that I'll make enough to put money back into another IRA. Being self employed has a lot of benefits; having a guaranteed retirement package isn't one of them. I also don't have any health insurance. If it weren't for complete medical coverage through the Veterans Administartion, I'd be up Sh*t Creek without a paddle. Keep your fingers crossed boys and girls.

I'll get back to you! My Grumman and Pitts cost me $840/year total with no hull. > I don't think there is much room for saving a lot more. But, I'm > not an insurance broker; I only play one on TV. Since there aren't very many (yet!) RV-10s flying, it's generally accepted that the insurance companies are being conservative on their side. Since actuarial data is non-existent, they're probably using some other 'similar' type plane as a basis right now. The fear is that if there are a few accidents within a small group, the insurance costs will soar. Linn ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 02:30:30 PM PST US From: Gilbert Alexander Subject: TeamGrumman-List: RV-10 Insurance Guys, Insurance for the RV-10 seems to be running at $3000 to $4000 a year... a bit more than Tigers...:^) ... but for double the hull value.

I have seen a couple for sale for $225K and the gal at Fredericksburg (former Tiger owner) that just had someone build one for her said she had about $225K invested in it! Beautiful plane with full leather interior, 2 Chelton screens and a MT 3 bladed prop, etc. Cliff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gilbert Alexander" Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 2:29 PM Subject: TeamGrumman-List: RV-10 Insurance > > > Guys, > > Insurance for the RV-10 seems to be running at $3000 to $4000 a year... a > bit more than Tigers...:^) ... but for double the hull value. > > See this thread.... > > http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t'87&highlight=rv-10+insurance > > gil in Tucson > > -----Original Message----- >> >> >> >>teamgrumman@aol.com wrote: >> >>> >>> Hi Linn, it's not a bad idea.

Betting on the come. Hey Gary, I'm sure you realize cashing in an IRA can be pretty expensive if you're not old enough. It can be subject to regular income tax and a 10% penalty if you are too young. But I'm sure you know that. Scott Boyce, AA5B, 28339 Boise, ID On Nov 21, 2006, at 2:05 PM, teamgrumman@AOL.COM wrote: > > Well, I did it.
