Posting on Home page 5/17/18 but no associated thread, "24 yr old Happy RV-6 Owner/Pilot", but it deserves a question that immediately came to mind > > INSURANCE COVERAGE.
I am within about a year of first flight of my RV14A and I have been probing the insurance agents for coverage, hull and liability. What I am finding is that there is no definitive or clear answer (of course not) to the amount of transition training required. It depends. My total flight time is about 1700 hrs spread out since getting my Private in 1966 - Commercial, Instrument (not current), Multi-Engine (not current), about half my total time is tail dragger. Was a CFII for about 10 years in the 70's. Some multi time, some time in Bonanzas and the like, little bit of actual IFR. Biggest single block of time is in a Bellanca Cruisair (500 hrs).
The insurance agent responses to my probes where that I would likely need a CFI sign-off, maybe around 5 hours transition training in a 'similar' type/configuration. That seems fair.
So the specific question relating to the 24 yr old Happy Owner is this: What did he find in his pursuit of owning an RV-6 regarding insurance coverage?
