While we are complaining about insurance, let me vent one of my peeves. With three planes, why do I need three separate liability policies covering only me? Shouldn't liability cover the pilot, not the plane? I can only fly one at a time. Or at least set a single policy on the highest risk plane.
I live and work from home at an airpark. A month ago, one of our neighbors took his Lancair IV out. I have a view of the pattern from my office and when he went by, the passenger canopy was up. He was flying solo. I grabbed the phone and ran to the runway. He did a long pattern with a 2 mile final a...
Costello Insurance, the glider specialist, told me that more and more underwriters are not offering insurance for Sonex at all. Not sure if its Sonex specifically, or experimentals in whole. I have a $2M umbrella policy with my homeowners policy that covers everything my other insurance won't. But I...
Looks like a B-Model. Landing short sounds like an engine problem, but the canopy is trashed. Did he lose the engine, then when he was coming up short, open the canopy in preparation? Good on him flying it all the way to the end.

I would think you would not be allowed to put a old ELT in a newly certified aircraft. Just my 2 cents and worth every penny.
I'm getting a quote for my C140 and PIK20D sailplane for the season. My current insurance is liability only for the Waiex at $500/year, Aerospace Insurance. I use Costello Insurance for the sailplane because that's their specialty and are reasonable. They underwrite for others. Aerospace Insurance w...
John, Do you think it's possible to remove the regulator from the Rotec TBI and run it strictly gravity feed like the AeroInjector? I went ahead and e-mailed Rotec, I'll report back when I get their answer No, the heart of the Rotec is the on demand pressure regulator. It gives just the right amoun...
you didn't specify reliability. I think that overrules all. I've run both. AeroInjector hands down. Simplicity is king. Only two moving parts. You and I have very similar objectives. I’m building a B conversion Waiex and have switched from an AeroVee 2.1 w/AeroInjector to a Gen 4 Jabiru 3300 w/TBI ...
