As I posted on our local RV Yahoo! Group:
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi gang:
First of all, I'd like to point out that if you don't have something
useful to say on this, please keep it to yourself. I am not in the
mood right now. Usually, yes...but not right now.
As you can see from the link below, the huge storm that came through
Lima, OH (and elsewhere) boogered up my newly aquired RV-4 that I
haven't even been in during flight. I am currently 1.3hrs into my TW
training and now have an unairworthy RV taildragger.
Now, my question... what are my options? The way I see it, I can
either [a] make a claim to my insurance, collect the insurance money
on repairs and then sell the broken airplane to someone else who is
able to fix it. Or I can do
the insurance deal and try to make the fixes with some help from
others (since I
have no idea how to do the building stuff).
Thoughts? I don't know much about airplane insurance and how I'm
going to go about doing this (Falcon Insurance), but this isn't really
something I know how or care to fix. It seems like quite a bit of
work for someone without the time or knowledge to do so.
So, if you have some real advise on this, I'd appreciate it anyway I
can get it. You can either post a reply to the whole group, email to
me personally or you can call me.
Thanks for your help, and I'm sorry I'm not in the mood for the "just
give it to me for $20 and we'll call it even" jokes...
