Van's RV Aircraft Insurance

Van’s RV Aircraft Insurance

Founded 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.”

Van’s RV Aircraft Insurance from Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR)

Piper Cub Insurance Offered by AIR

Piper Cub Insurance

A 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 back country 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  recreated by CubCrafters (Carbon Cub, Sport Cub, and Top Cub) and by American Legend Aircraft

(Legend Cub, which is offered in J3 and PA11 styles).

Piper Cub Insurance from Aviation Insurance Resources

The Piper Cub and Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR) have one thing in common. Pilots everywhere love the Piper Cub.

"Flies like a Cub" is still one of the greatest compliments a pilot can give an aircraft. And pilots everywhere love the aircraft insurance options at AIR.

We offer the broadest package of protection at the best available rates. We represent all of the major aviation insurance markets and are licensed in all 50 states.

Aircraft Windshield Company Celebrates 50 Years of Customer Service

Aircraft Windshield Company, Celebrates 50 Years in Business

On July 1st 2013 Aircraft Windshield Company will have been in business for 50 years.  Thank you to each of our customers, it would be our pleasure to continue to set the standard for service and quality for a half-century more. 

Norman A. Brodersen began Aircraft Windshield Company in a hangar at Compton Airport, California in 1963.  Initial production was in crafting windows for aviation by thermoforming acrylic plastic.  An opportunity to expand into the production of racing windows presented itself when Johnny Pulson, the pit crew boss for Parnelli Jones, requested a windscreen for the No. 98 Agajanian Willard Battery Watson/Offy roadster “Calhoun”.   
Not only did AWC provide the windscreen, Norman worked as a pit crew mechanic for the pole position at the 47th Indianapolis 500 on May 30, 1963.  Parnelli Jones and his crew were victorious that year and our race window production was born.


Aircraft Windshield Company’s products soon became known for their high quality optics and through word of mouth, the business expanded.  In 1965 AWC moved the shop to Los Alamitos, California where Norman continued to  manufacture acrylic parts for aviation and race vehicles.
Picture
Norman Brodersen 1965
 In 1977 an unfortunate helicopter accident took Norman’s life, leaving his wife and family faced with the difficult decision of continuing the family business.  Although this was a difficult time, they pulled together and developed AWC into what it is today.  Lois Jeanne Brodersen proved to be a pioneer as a female business owner.  Diligent and determined, Aircraft Windshield has remained a family operated business.  Lois and Norman’s two children, Mark and Judy, advanced the company with their unique individual strengths.  
Picture
Mark and Judy
Judy builds a relationship with every customer and takes personal pride in ensuring their vision is fulfilled- from the initial phone call to delivery.  After one conversation with Judy, you will feel like a member of the family.  Mark’s ingenuity and natural skills as an engineer diversified the shop’s thermoforming capabilities and generated numerous custom projects - which include a number of movie projects, prototype vehicles, as well as aerospace designs.  
Together they work hard to make each design come to life while maintaining the highest standards for optical clarity. The family was recently asked whether they had a favorite project or memory of the Company.  
Jon Norman, Mark’s son and AWC foreman, was able to embody the sentiments and expectations of Aircraft Windshield Company’s fiftieth year in business with this statement:
      “Projects we have done in the past are what has brought this company to where we are today.
       They have given us experience, challenge, opportunity and great sense of accomplishment.  
       We look forward to all projects.  None too small, and never too big.”

Subject: EVEN LOWER PRICE: Belite WoW Plane at $16,000!

Belite logo
EVEN LOWER PRICE: WoW Plane 
for $16,000 with NEW ENGINE
Belite's WOW plane is for sale at a special price. This award winning demonstrator aircraft has served us well for the last year.  It is loaded with features and special 'one-off' touches which made it different, highly aerodynamic (achieving a 58 mph cruise on a 28HP engine) and a joy to fly. It's unique paint scheme has twisted heads wherever we've shown it.  




NAME. We call it the WoW plane because of its amazing paint scheme and the amazing combination of features.

 
AMAZING PAINT SCHEME. The aircraft is painted in Insignia White from Stewart Systems, with multi-colored dots of various sizes floating off the airframe.  I came up with the idea of floating dots.  If you think it looks like a bread wrapper, well... hmm.

ENGINE. The engine on this plane is a NEW Hirth F33, producing 28HP.  It weighs about 47 pounds, including the muffler. It uses premix oil/fuel, at a 90 to 1 ratio.

BASE AIRCRAFT KIT. This ultralight aircraft is an example of many different ideas, all built into one Belite Aircraft. Any skilled aircraft builder could make this airplane, starting with our base kit.  

CARBON FIBER SPARS. This ultralight aircraft has carbon fiber spars. They are an $1800 option. They save about 9 pounds and add considerable strength.


HYDRAULIC BRAKES.
 The aircraft has been fitted with hydraulic 
tip brakes from Grove Aircraft. The tipbrake design is 'one-off' (not documented in our build manual), but builders are encouraged to innovate and copy what we have done.

 

 


  

 

 

SPRING LANDING GEAR. The main landing gear use steel springs, replacing bungees.  They make hard landings soft and also make taxiing a lot more comfortable.  

 

LANDING GEAR 'A' ARMS. These are also faired and covered with fabric. So is the cross bar, under the fuselage, connecting the landing gear together. 


TAIL WHEEL SPRING. Constructed from spring steel, we have them made for us by a local spring vendor. 

HOERNER WINGTIPS. This aircraft was built with a one-off Hoerner wingtip design.  This increases span and reduces tip vortices in flight, causing better lift and reduced drag. In other words, better performance low & slow. 

 

HORIZONTAL STABILIZER / ELEVATOR. These control surfaces are built with an aerodynamic cross-section. This gives better control and smoother flight characteristics, due to drag reduction. 
 
   
RUDDER TAB. Note the ground adjustable rudder tab. This is another 'one-off' feature which I would encourage our customers to copy.

LIFT STRUTS.  The lift struts are covered with streamlined plastic extruded fairings.
 
Y' CNC MACHINED LIFT STRUT FITTINGS.  There are several machined parts which we make at Belite. On this airplane, the strut lift fittings at the base of the fuselage are a great example. They are hogged out of solid aluminum. 

COWLING.  The cowl is constructed from fiberglass and is optional in our kits. The plane flies fine without a cowl.  It also flies fine with a cowl. The cowl weighs less than 3 pounds. We do not include it in our flying weight, because it is removable for flight. 
 
 
AIRCRAFT WEIGHT.  The plane weighs about 275 pounds, including parachute. The legal maximum weight for an ultralight aircraft with parachute is 278 pounds.

FUSELAGE. The fuselage is constructed from our 4130 chromaloy steel. 
 

MORE ON THE FUSELAGE SHAPE. The rear fuselage and the bottom fuselage was 'built up' with a series of angle aluminum longerons to add cross section shape, then covered with fabric.  You can see the internal aluminum structure by looking inside the fuselage from the cockpit.  This helps make the airplane look like any other 'real' airplane.  

 

 Fine print:

  1. None of these prices include crating and delivery. Please ask us for a quote to your location. Our standard rate is $2.50 per mile, one way. Alternatively, you may arrange your own transportation.
  2. All offerings subject to your inspection. We are happy to provide pictures of any detail you desire.  ou are welcome to arrange to have a local A&P inspect the plane for you, should you desire.
  3. All offerings subject to first come, first serve.
  4. We may withdraw our offerings at any time.
  5. In all cases, an immediate deposit of $5000 is required to hold your sale, with the balance due within 7 (seven) calendar days.

The Pilot Insurance Center Announces New Lower Rates

Pilot Insurance Center

The Pilot Insurance Center Announces New Lower Rates “Nobody gets up in the morning and just says, ‘Today, I’m going to shop for life insurance.’ Well, this is something that might get them started.” So says Randy Williams, partner at The Pilot Insurance Center, which has, for over fifteen years, matched pilots with the best full life insurance offered by A+ rated companies and, as the nation’s largest independent provider of individually-underwritten pilots’ life insurance, is the chosen life insurance provider to the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA).

“We want to announce a breakthrough with a top carrier that now allows us to offer superb coverage and great rates to pilots,” says Bill Fanning, President of PIC. “For the coverage offered and the carrier involved, these are the best rates, ever.”

Not knowing is costly.

Pilots’ life insurance is often misunderstood. Most life policies, even policies for airline pilots, do not cover General Aviation flying, either as pilot or passenger; many pilots thus don’t realize that they aren’t covered when they fly GA. Others think they need to buy two policies: one for their flying activities, and another for their “regular” life insurance. “That’s not so,” says Fanning. “A single policy, tailored to the pilot’s needs, experience, ratings, and so on, gives better protection and can be less expensive than mixing and matching; and it avoids possible problems in claims down the road. Your standard insurance broker doesn’t deal with aviation; he doesn’t know what questions to ask, and he doesn’t have the carriers in line to back him up – you get the wrong coverage at the wrong rate. At PICLIFE, we don’t have to ask you what an instrument rating is.”

In order to get to the best policy for each pilot, The Pilot Insurance Center doesn’t advertise mass-market, loss-leader sales, or have a hypothetical online quote machine. As in flying, experience counts. Williams continued, “We tailor each policy to each pilot. Some types of flying are of course more-expensive to insure than others. Astronauts are just more-expensive to insure than say, the guy who flies a Bonanza.”

The way to get started is to make a personal phone call. “We don’t publish a loss-leader rate that nobody qualifies for,” says Williams. “We’d rather know what we’re talking about; and I believe the pilot would, as well.” (Note: there is also a new online application that allows an interested pilot to submit a no-obligation trial application online and never have to talk with an agent if they prefer.)

Are you a fly-fisherman? New fly-fishing info here for sought-after natural occurring speckled trout, known elsewhere as a brook trout. Northern Ontario's natural occurring speckled trout, is really a fresh water hybrid arctic char and is thought to have been deposited or stranded in Northern Ontario lakes and rivers by retreating ice sheets many thousands of years ago. In addition, using a fly rod for bass is just the best fishing action ever, try it!

Letters from Happy Campers

Marg,

Just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how much I appreciate all that you and staff have done for me and my dad over the past eight years. You all do such a great job keeping the cabins and boats in excellent condition. We couldn’t ask for better accommodations or service, you have made us feel like part of the family.quinn We are amazed every year with how great the fishing is and the beauty of the landscape. Our time with you may only last a week, but the memories will stay with us for life. Cannot wait to see you this July. I am sure that the planes, cabins, and lakes will be in the same pristine condition that we have grown accustomed to over the years. Thank you again for everything, you go well above and beyond all expectations.

Sincerely,

John Brewer Jr.

Hi Marg,

Just want to thank you for everything. Quinn is a true fisherman and I couldn't have had a better place to introduce him to the joys of wilderness fishing. He fished for hours at a time, and remained enthusiastic whether he was catching fish at the time or not. He loved the plane rides and sleeping in the top bunk. We also had the thrill of experiencing together an otter diving and surfacing over and over to check out our boat. You only have one opportunity for a first fishing trip with your grandson. Ours couldn't have been better.

Thanks again,
Uncle Dave

Hi Marg,

Hope things are well with you. We would just like to thank you again for our wonderful week of fishing at your outpost on Indian lake. We had a great time. The fishing was excellent; a few evenings the walleye were practically jumping in the boat. We very much enjoyed the solitude as well.
There were many bays and streams to explore. If we’d been able to stay a month, we would not have been able to see them all.

We were also very pleased with the equipment and accommodations.
Your courteous staff and pilots treated us very well. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would recommend Sudbury Aviation to anyone looking to get away and enjoy some peaceful time in the wilderness.

Best Regards,
Mike Coulter
