Hi All,
I have done the rounds of several brokers including one suggested by this forum (Thanks IBob). But it appears they will not insure us. They have various reasons.
1) tail dragger
2) 2-stroke
3) Ab-initio training
4) just not feeling the vibe.
One suggested they would only look at it after I have 100 hours plus tail dragger endorsement and 10 hrs on the plane (presumably uninsured). (18000nzd min)
Does anyone have a company that does insure these aircraft with those, (what I would consider), not exactly far-fetched elements? Do the club planes have it? I don't want to fill out 30 insurers forms that are all identical and I figure someone must have done this recently or have I just stumbled onto a well kept secret? Do I need to point out that the Wright bros managed to survive a tail dragger without training? Yes I know they broke a few but imagine if they had had training.
Cheers
Steve
