I'd like to hear about it, Thomas. I'm also done sending
EAA $40.
I've heard similar rants
from others recently, and thought this would be the year that I would not renew
my EAA membership. When I thought about this, I got the idea to contact my
insurance agent for the RV-8 (NationAir), and ask if I really get any worthwhile
benefit on my insurance for being an EAA member. His answer was that the
EAA program was MUCH less restrictive, particularly during the fly-off
period than any other company around, so his advice was to stay with the EAA
since I have the RV-8 pending first flight in a few months.
The message here is to
contact your insurance folks and ask the same question. I don't
believe there's any way to get the EAA insurance program to cover a rotary, so
if that's all you're interested in, then maybe dropping the EAA won't
matter. It's worth a call to check though.
Cheers,
Rusty
