I have a brand new Firestar II: factory built all possible options. It  should win Grand Champion at Oshkosh. I was lucky to get a hangar at my local  airport. The FBO requires I have insurance. This has been an impossible task.  the FBO and I called all the insurance companies he has dealt with over a  lifetime. All of which were reluctant to insure the aircraft. We called the EAA,  which I have been a member of for over 35 years, and still had no luck. The FBO  told me that I am flying illegally. The Firestar II is N# and has passed  inspection and airworthiness certificate. Almost all of the insurance companies  have never heard of Kolb aircraft. I am a student pilot with 35 hours in a 140.  I was the Eastern PA and NJ Eipper Quicksilver dealer and sold and taught many  people how to fly. We sold a lot of airplanes to a lot of people including Mario  Andretti, Steve Pitcarin, and Asplund. I have flown most models of ultralights  and logged more hours than imaginable. Finding insurance for my new Firestar II  has been to date impossible. Insurance companies will not talk to me unless I  have 250 hours in fixed wing and 25 hours in a tail dragger. I am 61 years old.  There is no way I can get 250 hours in a fixed wing. I also fly my cousin’s  Commandchie, laminar airflow wing, high performance. The FBO does not even want  my aircraft stored in the hangar without insurance. 

 

  

 I am located 50 miles south of NY City and 50 miles north of Philadelphia  putting me in a high congested area. I would appreciate any help you guys could  give me obtaining insurance for my aircraft. 

 

  

 Thank you,

 Bill Corriere

You can get insurance through USUA (usua.org) or ASC (aerosports.org).
