Van’s RV Aircraft Insurance

June 19th, 2013

Van’s RV Aircraft InsuranceFounded by Richard “Van” VanGrunsven in 1973, Van’s Aircraft, an American kit aircraft manufacturer, is most famous for its RV Aircraft series, one of the most popular homebuilt aircraft around. In fact, by the end of 2012, 8,000 RV kits had been completed and flown, with thousands more still under construction.

RV Aircraft Series

It all started with the RV-1 in 1965, when VanGrunsven modified the Stots SA-3 Playboy with a 125hp Lycoming engine. He also modified the wings, cowling and fuselage. A sailplane, the RV-2 prototype soon followed.

The first RV available for sale was the RV-3. It was single seat and renowned for its climb rate. Making room for a passenger, the RV-4 followed as a two seat tandem version of the RV-3. As the demand for RVs grew, more models were produced. The RV-5 went back to a single seat whereas the RV-6 introduced 2 seats side by side. The RV-7, 8 and 9 were made as improved versions of earlier RV models.

The first flight of the RV-10 prototype was in 2003. Many more were quickly built as pilots discovered its excellent performance and ability to carry four adults and 60 pounds of baggage.

As the RV-11 motorglider is still in the development phase, the RV-12 and 14 have hit the market. The RV-12 is Van’s Aircraft first Light Sport Aircraft, featuring wings that can be easily removed in about five minutes. Years of aircraft experience helped create the RV-14 that debuted in 2012. Van’s Aircraft boasted a quicker build time for this model and 193mph cruise speed.

Builder’s Risk Insurance

Nothing beats the feeling of someday flying an aircraft that you built yourself. But building an aircraft is also a lot of work, requiring both time and dedication. And between the hours of hard work and tough choices you will have to make, insurance coverage typically gets forgotten or ignored. But what happens if disaster strikes mid-build?

“As a friend of many aircraft builders and as a homebuilt owner myself, I can only imagine the devastation of losing an aircraft mid-build,” said Jon Harden, president and founder of Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR). “Our affordable program is worth it just for the peace of mind.”

Piper Cub Insurance

June 14th, 2013

Piper Cub InsuranceA small yellow plane soars through the sky and is immediately spotted as the beloved Piper Cub.The Cub is a basic, no-frills aircraft that has dominated the marketplace because it is extremely reliable and versatile. It has excellent low speed manners and it can take off and land where other planes cannot. The Cub’s big brother, the Super Cub is considered by many as the ultimate backcountry airplane.

The Piper J-3 Cub was first introduced to the public in the late 1930s. This high-wing two-seater quickly became the top seller in the private plane market. In the 1940s, the Cub became the primary training plane in the Civilian Pilot Training program during World War II. The L-4 Grasshopper, a military version of the Cub, flew observation and liaison missions throughout the war. Then in 1946, demand for the Piper Cub was higher than ever. The war was over and returning military pilots were ready to embrace the American dream. 6,000 Cubs were sold that year, which is still the record for the most civilian aircraft of one type manufactured in a single year.

Over the years, Piper Aircraft has created many popular models, such as the Piper Cherokee, Arrow, Aztec and Malibu. One of the easiest to spot and classic Piper Aircraft are the beloved yellow Piper Cubs.

Today, the Cub is  recreatedby CubCrafters (Carbon Cub, Sport Cub, and Top Cub) and by American Legend Aircraft (Legend Cub, which is offered in J3 and PA11 styles).

Cessna Aircraft Insurance from Aviation Insurance Resources

May 10th, 2013

In June 1911, Clyde Cessna test flew an aircraft he built, becoming the first person to fly between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. Cessna Aircraft was later formed in 1927 and since then has grown to be one of the most well-known general aviation aircraft.

Many pilots get their start in a Cessna 150, Cessna 172, or Cessna 182. They make great trainers as well as family planes.  Cessna has a very expansive market, offering a light sport option in the Cessna 162, cargo hauling in the Cessna Caravan, multi-engine aircraft such as the Cessna 400 series, and their popular business jet, the Cessna Citation.

In the fall of 2007 Cessna took Columbia Aircraft under their wing and started manufacturing the low wing, Cessna 350 and Cessna 400 that have a maximum cruising speed of 235 knots.

Cessna Aircraft Company has been manufacturing aircraft for nearly 100 years producing more than 190,000 aircraft.  Per the Cessna website, more than half the aircraft flying today are Cessnas.  Aviation Insurance Resources is proud to insure and protect the Cessna fleet flying today. Without the proper coverage, the cost to repair or replace your Cessna would fall solely on you if it is ever damaged.  You could be held liable for any damages you cause to other aircraft, property, or people.

Cessna Aircraft Insurance
