Anyone with a recommendation/good experience to share?

I've been wondering about this also.. I have life insurance through
allstate and when asked I was a pilot, I said yes, and asked if this
would effect my coverage or rate. He said "No, they only concerned if
you are a commercial pilot". I suppose I should call the life
insurance company and find out for myself.

That's extremely helpful--thanks, all!

My wife also demanded insurance. Northwest mutual explicitly allows
sailplanes if you have more than 100 hours, at no extra cost. (And
cost is pretty low).

I'm using Northwestern Mutual also and had the same experience as
John. They didn't bat an eye at the soaring. It was the mountain
climbing that made them nervous. Older now and don't do that anymore
so the premiums have gone down. Win some lose some..
