There is a discussion going on about forming RV-10 safety
seminars/proficiency training, and that got me to wondering if something
along that line exists for our PFP instructors. I know that we don't
have anything organized at our annual conventions like some groups do,
but I'm ignorant about the qualifications/training that our PFP
instructors go through.
The direction the RV list discussion is taking is to try and reduce
insurance premiums by taking the seminars and flying skills evaluation.
That may not happen, but there should still be some better qualified
pilots out there. Any comments??? Is this something the Grumman
community might be interested in???

Hi Linn, it's not a bad idea. The question I have is, "How much is the
RV-10 insurance?" and "How does that compare to the insurance for a
Tiger?" I paid $860/yr in 1984 when I bought my first Cheetah (with a
hull value of $10,000). I pay about $1000/yr now with a hull value of
$80,000. I don't think there is much room for saving a lot more. But,
I'm not an insurance broker; I only play one on TV.

This will give me some idea for a comparison .... I'll get back to you!
My Grumman and Pitts cost me $840/year total with no hull.

Since there aren't very many (yet!) RV-10s flying, it's generally
accepted that the insurance companies are being conservative on their
side. Since actuarial data is non-existent, they're probably using some
other 'similar' type plane as a basis right now. The fear is that if
there are a few accidents within a small group, the insurance costs will
soar.
