REFLECTOR: Insurance Question

[Tom Cacek]

IMHO TT is bogus.  I know guys that have 500hrs, but only 50hrs. "experience" 10 time over.  Flying in your backyard most of your life getting that burger doesn't cut it.  Give me a guy with 300hrs "experience" over a 1000hr. "Hole Borer" anytime.  Unfortunately, underwriters don't see it that way, and they make the rules.  Sorry I can't offer anything to help.

I know a couple guys having problems getting insurance as co-owners of a 
Velocity STD RG.

They both have about 350 hours TT, with 100+ complex.

Nobody appears willing to offer them a quote?  Per their story they are 
being told 500 or 1,000 hrs TT minimum?  I'm having a hard time 
believing this?

Anybody here recently get a "new" insurance policy for their RG with 
similar or less hours?  Geoff just posted he got a policy last year with 
100 hrs TT.

A few relevant questions...

How many TT and complex hours did you have when you got the policy?

Did you get Hull insurance?

Did you take the factory training?

Have you ever had a prior claim?

Who did you get your policy with?

I would greatly  appreciate any info, posted here or sent to me directly 
at scott at tnstaafl.net.

I will anonymize anythign I forward to the two guys searching for a policy.

thanks,

Scott
