Here is the response I got from Falcon regarding insuring my rotary

powered

RV-6a with 185 hours of flight time under the EAA/Falcon program.

"Thank you for your inquiry.  I regret to
advise that we currently do not have an
insurance market for the engine that you have
described.  Currently, the only approved Mazda power
package is the Wankel Engine by PowerSports.
Please refer to the communication with Jim Nelson on
this issue.
Regards, Sharon Barks, Falcon Insurance Agency"

So if you are a commerical entity (read - a likely candidate to

advertise in

Sport Aviation) then your product will be insured.  If you are true
experimenter, then the EAA would just as soon that you go away for all

the

support they provide.  Yes, I have sent one of my "diplomatically"

worded

tirades  to the EAA organization - will be interesting to hear their
comment, if they bother to reply.

Lets all do the same thing. Send an email to the EAA on this subject
and bombard them with the facts.

Paul,

    If you'll put a convincing engineering weighted letter together and post
it on the newsletter, I'm sure every single one of us from all over the
world will print it out, sign it, and mail it in.  --  Maybe ten or twenty
times apiece :-)  If they have to sort through a hundred of our letters to
find one of their own from someplace else, they will begin paying
attention...

Thanks for the good idea,
Robin

Me? I am a bad diplomat. Ed is good. What did you say Ed?
