Since I am now 90% done, with only 90% to go, I have decided that a big push is needed to get my Jabiru powered Europa XS conventional gear into the air. My intention is to trailer it to Budâ€™s, get him to do the once, or twice, over, have him guide me to through the details to finish the last few details, get the cooling mods done, then, with a little luck, do first flight, 40 hr testing, and signed off.

Now some of the logistics. Does anyone have any recommendations on hull insurance during the transit (I just spoke with my auto insurance guy and he confirms that they will cover the truck, camper, motorcycle, and trailer, but NOT the plane. So I am in need of coverage for the transit phase. This would then convert into the proper coverage for flying.

Any insight or suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Mike Duane

Mike,

FWIW, Iâ€™ve been with AVEMCO since the beginning.  Not the least expensive, but not the most expensive either.  Iâ€™ve no idea about response to a claim as I havenâ€™t had to file a claim.  Check with them as well as with EAA and AOPA insurance agents.  There are others who will insure your hull but I donâ€™t know who they are.  Perhaps others will provide better resources.

Mike,

 I have Globe insurance through Falcon and it was a few days to get them to  underwrite the transportation coverage.

  

 Note:

 Normal auto insurance will cover the auto, and trailer, but not the trailer  contents.  Some auto insurance companies will cover the contents but one  must be specific and ask for it.  Geiko covered one of my old  clients.

  

 Regards,

 Bud Yerly

Mike,



Ground not in motion hull should cover your airplane while being transported by trailer but be sure to ask.



I have just written an insurance article that will be in Europa Flyer.  I can send you a copy.



EAA and AOPA are ok for a tri gear.  They may not write conventional gear.  AVEMCO will write a mono and I'd guess they will do conventional. I use Sky Smith as broker who has always found insurance for our mono. 



If you need a CFI for transition I may have a guy that can do that.  He's very good in mono.

Jim, thank you for the info. Is Sky Smith a person or company? If you have their contact information then it would be good to speak with someone that is knowledgable about experimentals in general and Europas in particular.

Mike,



It's a company.  Google Sky Smith Insurance.
