So I got my new toy home, thanks to the help of this forum, and now I am looking to start flying it. Here are the two things I am running into;
First, AOPA says that none of their underwriters will insure my plane, even though I only want liability, because I am hangaring it at my house and not an airport. Does this make any sense? Avemco gave me a quote but they never specifically asked where I hangared the plane, could this be an issue in the future?
Secondly, Avemco said they would not insure me during the instruction phase because there is only single brakes in the plane. Any suggestions on this one?
And one last thing that seems to keep coming across my mind; I have a glider rating with 175 hours. At least 100 hours of that is in gliders that are set up in a tail dragger configuration. They still have only one primary wheel and a smaller tail wheel and the CG is significantly rearward of the main wheel. So does this time count for insurance purposes? I realize that I do not taxi in the same manner as a power plane, but we do have to ground taxi for a short while on take off and also on landing, and depending on how far you want to push the glider this may be a very long and complicated energy management taxi. Any thoughts?
