My all risks insurance with Falcon runs out this month and I need to renew it. Before doing so it would be nice to know if anyone has found a better deal. I live in California and currently pay $2.150./year for $50,000. all risks (like auto collision) and $1-million liability. I have a total of 500 flying hours including 110 in my Zenith 701. If anyone knows where I can find a better deal, pls let me know who to call.

I did find that you can purchase full flight, liability only, and hangar & taxi (non-flying) insurance or any combination thereof. AIG said if I had 300 hours on my aircraft, insurance would cost less, progressing toward that direction each year. There are a lot of factors involved of course, but I'm at $1400.00 this year, down $100.00 from last at 50 hours. For your' aircraft, if you've no money owed on it, I'd consider lowering the hull value to $30K and keep insurance on it with the knowledge that you'd probably only prang a wing, a gear or a prop with any real careful flying. I priced AIG from several representatives, St Louis, Texas, etc. and went with the lowest price from Ankeny, Iowa.

Simple system, ignition, electric trim, battery, no lite or radios. Have the Rotax drawings but that's as far as I've been able to nail down Who has a system diagram showing what I need to do - as usual have preconceived ideas but always open to suggestions.

Careful of maki ng sharp radii, cracks and the dents made by the fluting pliers. I had way mor e trouble with the stab tips then the rudder tip and it was due to exactly wh at you are saying. Good Luck and remember this is pretty cheap fun building an airplane from scratch, so don't worry about a few remakes!
