Default RV-4 Insurance Survey

How much does your insurance cost per year? What companies do you suggest?

I'm looking at spending about $45k on the airplane. I am an experienced pilot with tailwheel time. No incidents, accidents, etc.... (knock on wood)

I was assuming about $1200.....

Mine is $965. BUT is nose wheel RV. $71K hull
Might be a good thread for all of us to compare rates though.
AOPA is the agency. Global writes the policy.

Michelle @ NationAir is my broker.

Low 30's Hull. ~800/hrs CFI-I, though not active. Only had ~20/hrs TW at purchase, insurance required 5/hrs in type before coverage. STAAR Aviation is who the policy was through, ~$1400. Going into year two now with ~100/hrs in type, dropped to $1,100 with Global Aerospace.

Give Jennifer or Shanna a call at NationAir they can give you an estimate or an actual quote on the RV-4. Your tailwheel hours will be a big factor in the rate.

I went through AOPA, with Falcon as the underwriter.
$1,420. I had only 12 hrs tail wheel time, private pilot. pretty high coverage.
They said it would drop substantially after 100 hrs in type.
So far:35 -and loving it.
