If I owned a $100k airframe I might have to rethink the idea of running without hull, but hull on $40k would have been about $1100 & I just can't justify that for 50-75 hrs of flying per year. BTW, has anyone else noticed that insurance companies keep talking about what a huge problem liability is, & use that as a justification for raising rates, yet the lion's share of the premium is for the hull?

There are arguments both ways, good ones at that, but if my family needs to collect for a totalled hull, they're likely to be getting a far bigger check from my life insurance company. Not necessarily, but moderately likely. > >If only I were disciplined enough to save the difference and have my own aircraft insurance reserve building up in a savings account... > >-Stormy > >-----Original Message----- >From: Dilbert >To: rvsoutheast-list@matronics.com >Subject: RVSouthEast-List: Ouch > > >--> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "Dilbert" > >The insurance thing keeps getting uglier and uglier.
