It seems that the insurance market is restricted to a couple of underwriters
who will provide coverage for experimental aircraft in the US. Also it is
still be a cost issue in that coverage would still cost about $2500.00 US
whether conventional or tri-gear.

I would suggest trying another insurer ! Or several.
Or if that doesn't work, contemplate changing to Tri-Gear.
