She's likely excluded from homeowner's coverage, and your auto collision/comprehensive insurance probably covers only the trailer itself plus a pittance for transported property nor will uninsured motorist cover it. For what little hull coverage costs for other than "in-flight damage," you're also covered on an airport ramp for freak storms, jet blast or airport ground vehicles with no witnesses, or whacked by a taxiing, uninsured pilot with empty pockets. One "excluding in flight" insurer (preferable) doesn't terminate the coverage until you apply takeoff power for that purpose and restarts it exiting the rwy under control after landing, so you're covered at all other times while taxiing. But others may simply exclude you from all "in motion," so you're bare on the trailered aircraft and taxiing, whereas one insurer calls trailered aircraft "in motion" only if a glider. Pop another Tylenol... :-) Reg, Fred F. N3EU ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:41:52 AM PST US From: "Leo J.

In addition the rear fuselage was bent (taildragger) and had to be replaced from the back of the baggage compartment to the tail. I finished flying off my 40 hours on Tuesday. On Saterday night a drunk driver,running from the cops rammed my plane and 4 others. The insurance co paid for both. Thank Heaven!!!

Yours, the drunks (unlikely!) or even the police (for chasing him/her). Duncan McF do not archive. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leo J.

I'm writing an article for Kitplanes magazine about financing for homebuilts. Has anyone had any experience in financing your Europa (or other plane that you've built), and would you care to share that experience? Also, if you've had the experience of financing an already-completed homebuilt, I would love to hear from you as well. Thanks so much! If you care to contact me off-list, my email address is cory@lightspeededit.com. My "list" email address is bootless@earthlink.net. Best, Cory Emberson KHWD
