Is there anyone out there that has liability insurance on their N numbered
Kolb? Who is it with and how much?
I have a strip that a few of us want to fly at in Florida. It is perfect for
Kolb but they require N numbers and $500,000 in liagility insurance.
I have been looking for insurance and have been flabergasted with the high
prices I have been quoted. I talked to two differet people from the EAAs
sponsered insurance group. The first one at the Sebring Expo said that most
companies think of Kolbs as ultralights and really don't want to deal with
them. If he could get it it would be around $800.00 per year. At Sun N Fun I
talked to another guy and he was more positive but again quoted around
$800.00. Then as we talked more he asked who did my engine installation. He
said anything other than a professional install of a firewall forward could
only be handled by maybe one company and it would be more expensive. He also
said for that type of aircraft the strip length would have to be al least
1800 ft long. They really don't know these aircraft.
I also talked to someone at the Avemco booth at Sun N Fun. She got in to the
details of the quote but was perplexed because she had no info on the
Avemco data base on any Kolb. I think she really didn't want to insure me so
she gave me a quote of $1,320.00 for just $500,000 liability insurance.
I also checked the arcives and could find any insurance info since 1997.
Does anyone have anything more curannt.

Rick:
I am insured through the Falcon Agency, affiliated with EAA. For the
past two years I have been insured for 30,000.00 hull coverage and
1,000,000.00 liability to include passengers. There is no deductible.
$1,500.00 annually.
This insurance is also good for the US, to include all of Alaska, to
Point Barrow, and Canada, to include Tucktoyaktuk, Northwest
Territories. Better coverage and cheaper than AVEMCO, who, BTW,
encouraged me to drop my coverage with them because of their super
increase of premiums. AVEMCO also charged me, in addition to the
normal premium, 1,250.00 to cover me anywhere above the Arctic Circle.
An expensive pain in the butt.
I was never asked who installed my engine or who built my airplane.
They are primarily interested in hours and experience in type and
model aircraft. The more the merrier, plus other aviation experience
thrown in for good luck.

Falcon insurance through EAA. $600 for $1M liability. No hull coverage.
I thought it was kinda steep, but maybe not.

Rick,
I recently received an update about insurance available thru the USUA (United States Ultralight Association). They have increased the weight limit to 1150 lbs (at) $427. You have to be a member in order to purchase from them. See all the details at their web site. www.usua.org/Insurance

It is truly super to have at our fingertips the power/knowledge of the Kolb group. Thanks Bill Vames this information will save us a bundle. Check it out that's $1,000,000 liability for $427 if over 992lbs and under 1150lbs or $376 if under 993lbs plus $30 for USGA membership. This does include those of us that have N numbered Experimentals with a FAA license. They also talk about other optional aircraft insurance.
George I think this more than covers the minimum necessary to fly our Kolbs (had to keep this post Kolb related) out of the Buchan airport in Florida.
