This is interesting. I know my total time is not very high at 500 hours but I do have 170 of tailwheel time and 53 hours of high performance/retract. I should try to shop around a little bit but I am somewhat locked into Falcon due to my 2 current policies one of which is an experimental tailwheel and the other a Grumman AA-1(which is really cheap at $450/yr with $20k hull coverage).

With hull insurance it was a little over $2,000 but with just liability it was under $1000. I have no tailwheel time yet but I do have just over 1800 total.
