    Default insurance doubled?

    I just got a quote for 1500.00 for a Kitfox IV with an 80HP.
    I have 800 hrs taildragger in that plane.
    I was paying 860.00 a year, was I just lucky? What is the norm for a KF IV.
    Oh, Im a sport pilot, the insurance guy said I was being dinged for that. I'm only half a pilot I guess. Suggestions?

    Mine doubled this year for no apparent reason as well. I'm with the Falcon ins. agency through the EAA. It makes me mad, it's just liability, I fly from my own strip, usually alone, and most flights I don't land at a public airport. Not much risk for the insurance company in my case. JImChuk

    Jay-

    I’ve been paying about the same($1500 annually) but I always assumed it was the relatively low tailwheel time <400 hours in my case. 1200 hours total time, private, complex and high performance don’t seem to mean anything- what do you have your Hull value at? Mines at 30K.

    Interesting, I just got an email from my broker reminding me that it is time to renew the insurance. I wonder if the fact that I fly under Basic Med now will affect the rates.
