I parked my aircraft in TX from March 30-April 5 in TX. Very windy arrival
and departure. The FBO was asked and agreed to hangar the aircraft if a
storm appear eminent. I even called on April 1 to repeat the request since
the My Radar app showed a large area of precipitation (yellow/red).
Apparently their internal lack of communication failed to get the aircraft
inside and hail damage resulted. Because of the very inclement departure I
did not notice the damage and it was not discovered until April 16. Primary
damage is to top of control surfaces due to thinner metal. I plan to reskin
them; other areas of thicker metal had minor paint marks; even the cowl top
had small faint marks in the paint. The aircraft is insured and someone
else will probably do the work. Any comments or suggestions? either dealing
with the insurance co or techniques to smooth the metal?
