Default liability insurance

I foolishly didn’t renew my policy with Costello a few years back, thought it might be time to hang it up. The next year I found out almost nobody would insure a pilot over 80 years old. Costello turned me down initially, but finally did reinsure me. I believe because they are SSA’s group insurers and didn’t want to take a chance on loosing the group?

When I got into motorgliders a while back, I was told by Costello that
they wouldn't have provided coverage if I was over 60 when i started.
Wasn't an issue for me, but was surprised that they would add that
restriction to someone who was a very long term customer with a good
claims history.

With the newfound popularity of motorgliders, wonder how many others are
going to get surprised like that? I haven't checked to see if that's
still their policy.
