Hello all,



When it comes to insuring an aircraft of this type, are you finding the rates are reasonable?  I suspect that insurance for the Kitfox, Highlander, Rans, and similar size/weight aircraft are about the same, but I'm only speculating since I don't know any of their safety records or other insurance criteria.  



For those of you who own/have owned all-metal aircraft, how do rates compare between them and tube-and-fabric craft, tri-gear or tailwheel?  Do you have hull insurance, or do you carry only liability and eat the cost of any repairs due to accident, weather, etc.?



I'm not flying at the moment but plan to get my PPL next Spring/Summer.  But insurance costs for the planes I really love have me worried the most.  I'd like to find a class of aircraft that I will love to fly that won't break me.



Many thanks for all of your wisdom and insight 



Best regards,

Chris

Chris, you will find that the Kitfox is one of the few conventional gear experimentals that the insurance companies will risk writing on student pilots.

Chris,

  Check the archives as well, we had some good conversation about this very topic about a month ago or so.

~$760/yr. for $1M / $100k from AIG. No hull. This for a 250hr TT, 20hr 

tailwheel, 65hr complex pilot. I expect it will drop to less than $600 next 

year.

Is that for liability only?  AIG charging me over $1,200 for 1 mil liability and 25K on the hull.
