Well after finally getting my power back on, after being without power since the ice storm last Tuesday, I can post the conclusion of the insurance claim.
I got a call this morning from Eric Rank, my claims adjuster for AIG in Atlanta. US Specialties, the insurance carrier for the jump school has paid AIG 100% of AIG's request for subrogation of AIG's payout to me for repairing Black Magic. As those who have followed this process since last Memorial Day Sunday, I opted to go through my insurance's hull coverage to cover the repair of Black Magic, as I found it was much easier to go through them, as they were obviously my advocate. It was fairly obvious from the beginning, AIG expected this 100% compensation. This is great news, as my account with AIG does not show a negative balance. I cannot say enough good things from my dealing with AIG, and Eric Rank. They were understanding, professional and helped me through this process. My experience with them was nothing but outstanding.
The rebuild process is going much slower than I ever expected. A rebuild is much slower, harder and just a pain than the initial build. Although she will fly again, it is going to be later rather than sooner. With all that said though, the joy of flying her last year for 49.2 hours was an absolute blast. Keep on pounding....I'm in the fiberglass stage....when you fly it for the first time, you'll kick yourself in the butt for not finishing your project sooner!!
