REFLECTOR: NO Velocity Insurance?

[Epstein Lawrence Jay]

(I tried to post this earlier, but I never saw it).

I believe that the main issue is with the RG. I don’t think it is as hard to get the FG insured. (I was able to get Full flight, (effective March 1) $100k hull + liability for my 173 FG which is getting close to first flight. I have ~550 total time, Private, Instrument, SEL-~350 Hrs bonanza time).
What some have done is disable the retract mechanism and insure the aircraft as a FG, then re-apply for RG insurance down the road (after you have enough (100 hrs?) on the aircraft with you PIC as a FG.

Just a thought.

He tried a bunch of companies including: Aerospace, Global, Starr, AIG, HCC. Randy Kasen with Aerospace said that regardless of pilot times, they are not interested in coverage on the Velocity.
