Some more thoughts
I've been insuring cars with USAA since I started driving, and wouldn't change given their superb service and "officer's word is his bond" attitude. Same with my house insurance.
But not on my C170. They don't write the policy, they resell it, and my sense is they don't have the same flexibility to respond as quickly and proactively as they do with their other underwritten policies. It was also a lot more expensive than other folks I talked with because they are simply reselling - and cannot limit the risk pool through their historical gatekeeping of "military only".
There are some things to look for with the tailwheel insurance too - specifically if they permit soft and rough field operations. And operations at facilities "not in the AF/D". Those minor clauses can get you!

That would be after I feel I had to "educate" them about the increasing values of well-cared for airplanes.CraigH wrote:It was in July of 2005, when I bought N3477D.gahorn wrote:That's who required "convincing". When did you insure it for that amount, before or after 2001?

I agree with Doug, your plane must be worth more than $30K. Sure is pretty I would check around and see what other 170 owners are insuring theirs for. BTW, how long have you had your plane? I didn't see you listed in the 170 directory. Maybe in my rush I missed it, but if you aren't a member we sure would like to have you as one
