REFLECTOR: engine choice

[Tony Babb]

That's good to hear. At least one of my fellow EAA chapter members was
unable to obtain insurance for his auto engine aircraft (not a Canard) about
6 months ago. He was told to come back after he had flown off his 40 hours
and they would reconsider, but no promises of coverage.

The thing that really stopped me from any further consideration of auto
engines was the issue of getting insurance here in the US. Apparently
insurance companies are unwilling to provide liability and/or hull insurance
for auto engine Velocities and maybe other experimental aircraft, although
they may provide insurance when you're parked in a hangar (that is insurance
against theft, vandalism etc).  I like flying but not enough to risk all my
assets if I had an accident/incident that was my fault.

 

Not quite true - I; and others, with alternative engines have both liability
and hull coverage.
