My broker said stay with the same company since they reward loyalty. Yeah, sure, until you pass a certain age. My policy was not renewed—3,400 hours, 2,450 hours in type, Instrument rated, C.A.P. pilot, feature articles in every major U.S.A. aviation magazine with most on some facet of safety, and never so much as a scratch or incident. Broker in essence said, better sell the Mooney. His secretary said, Try AVEMCO. I did, sending them complete information on me and my Mooney. Got coverage, and at $150 less than I'd been paying, and first renewal dropped a few more bucks.

1963 C shows high oil temperature all year, but just a slim green glimmer between the needle and red line in summer. Cylinder temperature low green. Mixture 100° rich of peak. Opening cowl flaps lowers oil temperature slightly.Otherwise engine 1,850 hours on overhaul is excellent with fantastic oil analysis reports. Suggestions and/or comments, please.

Single-axis Brittan autopilot coupled to both KLX-135A and KX-155. Forgot to mention uAvionix SkyBeacon ADS-B out on left wingtip.

Have owned '63 C for exactly 40 years, always hangered, and conservatively maintained. What I've been hearing is that I have her value with my insurance company too low. TT 5,800 hours. SMOH 1,840 hours. (Previous OH at 2,400 hours, and only then due to a leak.) Oil analysis every oil change since SMOH—Blackstone Lab has good things to say every report. No glass cockpit, but dual nav/com, one with ILS and one with GPS. ADF. Four seat cockpit com. Also AOA meter, carb heat gauge, and EGT gauge. IFR ready. Ext. 9, Int. 6 with sheepskin front seat covers. Front seat shoulder belts. The improved front cowl and windscreen. All ADs, etc. complied with as issued. Without seeing her, and I think you'd be impressed, what's she worth today and what I should have as an insured value? Thanks.
