Can I tap your memories and advice on insurance? I just got some info from Falcon that does not seem correct. My situation is: RV7A, will be ready to fly in...
I have a 7A and insurance is through Falcon with Global. I had only 2 hours of SIC RV time. Instrument rated with about 500hrs total time prior to first...
... I also insured my -7 through Falcon, at the time (October 2008)I had 200 hours with 110 tailwheel and the requirements were 2 hours of transition training...
I didn't use Falcon as my broker. My RV experience consisted of about 3.5 hours in RV-6 / 6A's and I pointed out to them that I had done a first flight on...
MIke, I have AIG. I have a 1 hr training requirement before I can fly my plane which is soon I hope. I plan on doing all the flying myself so I do not know...
Dan, Mike, Larry, and Dave: Thanks for the quick feedback. I will see what I learn in the callback from Falcon (my POC is Heather) -- but I think she was not...
Falcon (via Heather) corrected their information as follows: Minimum of one (1) hour dual in an RV6A or 7A. (I have asked if a 9A will comply, since I have...
If anyone is looking for a New never used Dynon 10A EFIS with flushmount, backup battery, remote magnemometer and all manuals I have listed it on ebay. Item #...
That sounds like AIG is the underwriter.. Ask her to give you a comparative quote from Global... side by side two quotes (AIG vs Global) would be best.....
Folks, I had a stuck fuel sender yesterday - stuck in the up (full) position. It was OK in flight - it must have bounced up there when I touched down. Checked...
For a while, I had a very slight (and very annoying) seepage of brake fluid from the lower AN-NPT fitting on the pilots right master cylinder. It was the NPT...
Ralph... When I was doing tank / gauge calibration, one of my senders hung up (my plans are at the airport and I can't tell you off hand what the rib part...
Dan, Did yours hang in the up position? Mine did...there's nothing up there... Fuel-lube and a new cork gasket - couldn't figure out what to adjust for the up...
Ralph... I had drained the tank and was adding fuel one gallon at a time to cross check the gauge. When it got to about 7 gallons, the gauge just stayed in...
Dan, I'll prepare myself to play with it some more - eventually. Looks like you're a bit closer to 'freedom' than I am - enjoy.... Thanks for your input, ...
The policy I selected is with AIG (brokered by Falcon). I discarded Gloabl after the preliminary info, mostly because I have prior experience insuring with...
Group FYI, Just renewed my ins. policy with Global-AAU thru Falcon Ins. Kerrville, TX. 1 yr, $1290.00 and no ded (I negotiated the rate). $50k all risk. Lib...
Mine was the same but the lower left master cylinder was seeping on a 7A. Took the aluminum fittings out and threw them away. Installed two new steel...
I am not planning an inverted oil system but will role and loop this 7A. Should I install a flop tube in the fuel tank anyway? One or both tanks? Pros &...
You should be okay without the flop tubes if you keep positive G. I've rolled / looped my 7A and everything was just fine. You really want to be sure and keep...
hello skip, i have the same plan. rolls and loops.. no sustained inversion. When i built my tanks, i put one flop tube in the right tank. I will have a ...
I did not put flop tube in mine and loops and rolls during test phase were fine except when I "floated" over the top on one loop and got a low fuel pressure...
Flop tubes were $38 each from Vans. I put one in both tanks when I was building the tanks. No more difficult than the standard pickup to install. Putting them...
Same as Dave...aileron rolls, loops, split-s, etc and no problems. I have fuel injection and the pressure was fine---no flop tubes, by the plans. Ron F. ... ...
Same... no flop tube here. Â -d- ... From: Ron Fearnow <colfearnow@...> Subject: Re: [RV Builders] Fuel Tank Flop Tube To: RV7A@yahoogroups.com Date:...
I suggest you install them in both tanks. I had to retrofit mine. If you have a carburettor you are limited to basic positive G manouvers but there may still...
