Av8rJake 0 Posted May 11 Hows it going Canardians? Just finishing up my acquisition of a Long EZ in CA and really stoked to start participating in some fly ins! I'm looking for an insurance company that doesn't hate these things 😕 I just got a quote and it was like 4700 a year for 50k hull insurance! I have my PPL/IFR and 325 hrs. Anyone have any suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kent Ashton 319 Posted May 11 A lot of folks recommend Falcon Insurance in Kerrville, TX https://falconinsurance.com/ I've been insured through them for many years. I do not have hull and I wouldn't have liability except that my airport requires it. About $550 per year for liability on a Cozy. Re: Hull Ins.. I look at it this way: I am unlikely to have a crash that totally destroys the airplane (fingers crossed). Anything less and I can probably repair it myself. My friend totally ripped the nose off his Cozy forward of the canard and he rebuilt it himself with no prior experience. Any shop that _could_ rebuild it is going to cost you an arm and a leg. As the builder of mine, I know the airplane pretty well and respond to any unusual things with the engine. As a buyer, you should be a little cautious and ask a lot of questions until you get really familiar with the engine and operation. Engine and brakes--those are key items to maintain. Did you buy one of the "Sales I've seen" listings? Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just curious - who's plane did you get, and who did your Pre-Buy examination? Are you planning on coming to Columbia (O22) on June 3 - 5? See: http://www.canardswest.org/ Quote Marc J.
