I have been insured by Avemco for 12 years. I renewed recently and I paid $260. This was up from the $235 that I had paid for years. This is for liability only. They don't have a problem with a Great Plains VW Engine.

Yesterday I called Avemco and they indicated they would insure me for $989 a year !! I have not yet completed the paperwork and secured a "binder" on the insurance so that could change. I believe the only reason they will insure me is that I'm not using a "car motor" (their discription) in the airplane. The could have shown a little respect for all the "bug" motors pulling airplanes around the sky and called them "non-certified" engines. I'm using an 0-200 but I still felt a bit insulted on behalf of all the Sube and VW drivers out there. I hope to wait until the day before my first flight, secure 90 days of coverage with a credit card, and then try to get through my test phase before the 90 days are up. At that point I hope to secure a much more reasonable quote. I'll keep you posted.
