Are those that are flying with rotary power going without insurance, or
 is there a company that does insure rotary planes?

I was with AVEMCO on my 172 policy and my builders policy. Then AVEMCO
announced their no auto engine policy about a year ago. At that time I called
around to see who WOULD insure an auto engined airplane. USAIG(?) was willing
to insure me when I get flying with the rotary so I moved my other two
aircraft policies from Avemco to USAIG. I have heard that USAIG has been
purchased by the same holding company that owns AVEMCO so I for one am a
little worried too.

I find it deeply ironic that Avemco is in "cahoots" with EAA. They have the
big EAA discount and EAA promotes Avemco as THE place to get insurance for
experimental aircraft, yet Avemco has a blanket no "experimental" engines
policy.

Somebody tell me, why do I pay EAA dues each year?
