I called 5 insurance companies, 1 didn't do Europas at all and 2 more didn't
do Mono wheels. Settled on HR Jennings at 1840 including crown cover etc.
OK considering I had no hours on type and they didn't stipulate a PFA
conversion just a check ride by the seller.
Great service very friendly and couldn't do enough for me, but I haven't had
a claim yet!!!!

GOURO Trigear and Loving every minute of the Europa. From the first flight
never had a single problem handling any part of the flight. AS for the nose
wheel bouncing treat it like all nose wheel aircraft (with respect) and its
completely conventional in every sense of the word!

Pentagon Insurance (advertised in PFA mag) do have a "Europa" package, but
in my experience I found them expensive. Some insurance companies were not
willing to look at Europas or PFA in general. However, I did find that some
insurance companies were willing to recognise the fact that mono wheel
Europas have a higher insurance claim rate (i.e greater insurance risk) than
Tri gear versions and were willing to reduce the premium accordingly. Thank
God for Tri-Gear Europas, that's what I say.

Hi everone,
I am new to the forum and was interested to see the recent insurance costs
being quoted. I was wondering if the forum has considered approaching
insurance companies as a group with a view to reducing the costs? Is this
of interest? maybe the PFA could assist?
I am hoping to be facing this issue myself in 2003.
Regards
Simon
