What do you do if you ground loop it? Or it is damaged on the ramp and no one is there to blame? What if the engine quits and you have to land it in some trees, you survive but the plane is badly damaged? I got probably half the investment in my plane that alot of you guys have in yours, and no way I could just loose that investment. The hull coverage is well worth it to me.

Same liability, hull and medical coverages as full coverage until you take the active runway (GIM) or begin moving under the plane's power (GNIM), at that point hull coverage stops. A tempting way to save! But when that ground loop/bird strike/oil leak/bad gas/interstate landing happens, that $xxxx/yr saved is going to seem like chicken feed! I can see arguments both ways.

Went with SkySmith $1M/60K and even though I fly with a Rotary Engine my cost for the same coverage as with AMVECO went down over $1000. So not unreasonable for keeping hull especially with my powerplant. He in turn, had it underwritten by AIG. Yes, I made a full disclosure about the power plant.

My RV-6, however I went for full coverage and will never regret it. I had an engine come apart and the forced landing in a rough area damaged the airplane (but not us fortunately). I had no problem with the insurance folks at all and got the full insured amount quickly. I did not pursue buying the airplane back other than asked to be notified when it became available but I never heard anything. Short answer, with as much as most of us have invested I think the hull insurance is worth it. However, shopping around is worth every minute spent as well.
