Like others, I have "self-insured" the hull for in-flight since such a loss 
would probably not be repairable - either me or the airplane.  I do use the 
plane for travel and cannot always control the circumstances under which it 
is parked, ergo the desire for "comprehensive", not-in-flight hull coverage.  


Passenger coverage is less important to me since I can only carry one and I 
generally require that they be pilots.  A pilot would have a hard time 
claiming he didn't know the risk, especially after seeing me land.

Most importantly, $1,000,000 liability coverage allows possible flight into 
Mexico or Canada.  Ok, if you don't care about that, 1 mill is needed to 
race.  Now, that is something I NEED.

Re Avemco: while they seem to be pricey, there were some strange, but useful 
benefits by holding their homebuilt policy.  One could get first flight 
coverage for no additional cost if EAA tech counselors and Flight advisers 
were consulted.  Liability coverage was extended for up to 3 years after the 
aircraft was sold - no additional cost, etc.  

Now I am looking for someone else because they have basically abandoned the 
performance homebuilders and there is nothing the EAA is capable of doing 
about it.
