Two sources/underwriters that I know of: EAA/Falcon AIG Aviation My recent experience was that neither wanted to offer builders insurance for the total of what I though my ES project would be worth. In fact, they were hard pressed to insure it for my estimates of the total hard $ parts costs. I'll worry more about that when I get closer to the point of cost exceed the policy limit (engine, avionics, paint, etc) - many months from now. Both also seemed to have a rule to not offer builders insurance if they didn't think they would insure the plane/pilot when it was done. I'm a 750+ hour multi commercial instrument, so that wasn't a big issue for me in an ES. However, it might effect some IV builders. My builders policy is non-movement, ie. as-is it won't cover taxi tests or phase one. I understand that comes later. Interested in others' experiences, insights.
