Avemco solicits me every year when my insurance is due. So, I expect they consider RV's are worth chasing after.....
EAA's insurance program is run by Falcon. I left another broker for Falcon due to poor service years ago. Falcon has been good to work with.
My policy through Falcon includes an EAA member endorsement that, among other things, gives me first right to buy salvage if my plane is totaled.
Well, Avemco just told me they don’t offer coverage for my make and model of aircraft…..
The Gallagher folks are great…we have used Skysmith for many years, also with great experiences.
I got a quote from Gallagher already, they seem quite reasonable except they want my CFI to have 25 hours in make and model in order to provide me my checkout. I have two local CFI’s with tons of tailwheel time, and one of them owns an F1 Rocket. But, according to the insurance company, he needs RV-7 time……

Call Gallagher back, find out if these requirements are negotiable (sometimes they are). If not, Mike Seager (spelling) in OR is pretty close to you.
Did you post in the classified section here, or make a "Need Transition Training" post? I gotta believe that there a lot of side-by-side RV pilots in your neck of the woods.
The requirement for a transition CFI with 25 hours in -6, -7, or -9 is pretty common with those companies that insure RV's (notably AIG and Global).
I have been with Skysmith since day one (over 15 years) and have been happy with them.
