    Mine is clear finish glass covered, with some sort of polyurethane reinforced leading edge, maybe 8mm thick. "Depicted is a test propeller which was turned at 3300 rpm. A front end loader (JCB) slowly tipped 500kilograms of river sand (average grain size of 0.2mm up to 4mm) into the arc of the propeller. The end result was that 40% of the propeller was eroded. However only 3% of the urethane leading material was removed." But coming from Sert Efrikah freight might be a problem. https://www.p-propeller.co.za/propeller-manufacturing/

    I'm kind of surprised this isn't the standard already. Doesn't take much tech or weight to design a ten minute UPS. If batteries, they don't have to be lithium ion, if there are concerns about safety. Some ups use capacitors. But sealed lead acid or even nicad would be fine.

    The good reason for me is that I went through a recommended Australian supplier, and some of the wire was corroded, some had verdi gris. They tried to convince me that was normal, but I got some from the US and lo and behold, it looked clean and new. I agree it's nice to support local, but my experience is that Americans tend to give better service because there is so much more competition.

    I bought tefzel from an Australian supplier and it was crap. So then I just grinned and beared the cost of getting it from aircraft spruce in the US. Now that I don't need any I see aircraft spruce have an Australian branch 😄

    I went with Agile. What worked out well was that I had an online quote you could edit. I managed to massage nearly a thousand bucks off the original quote 🙂

    Ok guys. I have quotes from: AGL aviation AV cover Aviation Insurance Online Agile Who has had happy experiences with any of these? And especially if you actually had to make a claim and the experience wasn't totally awful.

    Plenty of times I've heard of one person surviving and another dying. I mean, the first heavier than air fatality was of Orville Wrights passenger in 1908.

    I've thought about this some more, and I see the virtue in it now and I'm going to quiz the insurer about this. After all, test flying can take quite a while, might end up being a year anyway.

    My ex has been phoning around for me. The consensus seems to be that 5 million on the policy is adequate.

    Ok then, revise my question to - 25 hours proving thing.
  17. danny_galaga
    I'm thinking he misunderstood what I was linking too 😊 A (moving) picture is worth a thousand words.
  18. danny_galaga
    25 hours test flying is a single event?

    EV drag racer?

    I suspect it's a lonely affair in Australia
  22. danny_galaga
    Yes, but I'm not going to insure it just for test flying, and then do the whole process again once that's done.

    BUt not necessary, from a legal standpoint? RA-AUS is 10 million public liability if I recall correctly. If I'm happy with that, legally I'm ok, and hull insurance only is fine?
  24. danny_galaga
    Now I have the Permit to Test Fly certificate, the next step is insurance. What am I asking for exactly. I just filled in an online quote but noticed it was for hull AND liability. RA-AUS already cover liability, right? So I guess all I'm after is hull?

    You seem to have read my mind. I've wanted to build a quick EV street car for quite a while, after discovering the NEDRA web page. I've started to think maybe I'll sell my plane to do that 🙂 This is the webpage, because jokes aside, it's not as easy to google as say, Peugot http://www.nedra.com/
