RV-6 owners fly for fun
Airplane partners rely on AOPA insurance
RON WAECHTER OWNS an RV-6 with
two friends, Jerry Foster and Mike
Volpp. Now in their second year with
AOPA Insurance, Waechter says the
partners appreciate "the reasonable
pricing, quick response, friendly staff,
and the pledge not to penalize coverage of a claim for minor issues."
Waechter has been a member
of AOPA since he learned to fly in
1978. He considers himself fortunate
that his flight instructor back then
was a World War II instructor. "I consider myself very fortunate to have
learned from such a great aviator," he
says. Today, Waechter has a commercial certificate with multiengine and
CFI ratings, but quickly adds, "The
only paying flying job I ever had was
a patrol job in a Cessna 152."
Today, the three partners fly for
fun and for personal transportation.

They attend fly-ins regularly and
own other low-and-slow aircraft
(Taylorcraft, Cub, Zenith CH 701).
"The RV-6 really rounds out the aviation experience," Waechter says.
This past spring, Waechter and
Foster flew a great trip to the Sun 'n
Fun Fly-In. "We had a 50 mph tailwind most of the way down and the
whole week's weather there was
great," he says. Of course, the trip
home wasn't as quick, but Waechter
says, "It was still fun."
Whether you fly low and slow
aircraft or a faster, more complex
airplane, AOPA Insurance has the
right policy for you. For more information or a quick quote on aircraft
insurance, talk to AOPA Insurance.
Don't forget: You may qualify for a
5-percent discount just for being an
AOPA member.
