REFLECTOR: N541SW Pink Slip

[Ron Brown]

Who did you get your insurance quote from?  How many hours of pilot experience do you have?  

Try AUA at http://www.auaonline.com/ - Rob Kamsch (but you may have to wait a bit - the insurance companies won't issue competing quotes - meaning if someone has quoted you recently, you have to wait something like 60 or 90 days to get a new quote).

  After 4.5 years of building an all SLOW build XL-5FG, John and I got our "pink slip" Saturday with no squawks.  I think watching the inspector was more painful then the 4.5 years, naw I take that back, the sanding was worse.  It was painful to watch though, but well worth it in the end.  But I can now say I own an airplane and not a bunch of "weird" parts in the garage.  Pretty cool, the pain of building is fading every day.

   

  First flight to follow soon, assuming I can get Al to let me borrow his test pilot.

   

  Then I need to get insurance (which has been a major hassle so far), I'm getting told we need at least 250 hrs TT for a XL-FG to even quote liability.  Oh well, life is full of risk, I think John and I both jeopardized are marriage building this thing.
