  The information I was given was that the requirements you listed were so
  that Lancair could try to reduce the cost of insurance to builders/flyers.
  My understanding is that new builders are not "required" to do anything vis
  a vis insurance. They must, however, comply with the specifications Lancair
  worked out with its insurance underwriter IF they want to participate in
  this specific insurance program. Further, my insurance (for a IVP) already
  requires that I had a factory-authorized person check out my airplane for
  airworthiness and that I receive an annual recurrency/checkride from a
  Lancair-designated person.  This had been the case with my insurance broker
  and carrier for three years. As to being "stonewalled", I know nothing about
  that, but it does seem possible that since the Lancair CEO/pro-active
  insurance coverage negotiator is a part time New Orleans resident and
  businessman/lawyer his attention may have been distracted for the time
  being.
