Good points, Karl. That you have a trim tab that has passed annual inspections is not too suprising. I have yet to get dinged for the same thing two owner-assisted annuals in a row. Maybe if I used the same IA... If that trim tab is not giving you any trouble, I'd check with the Coupe Capers to see if there is a 337 that covers such. Then modify it to fit your installation and get it signed, sealed and to the FAA. Then you're set. Yes, the insurance companies are that slick. They are in business of collecting premiums, not paying claims. The longer they can keep the money, the better they like it. Of course, they gotta pay off sometimes. Like when "innocent" people are hurt. THen getting out on a technicality could be bad PR = get `em in trouble with the state insurance commission. Too much trouble and you can't do business in that state! I used to work with an automotive insurance claim adjustor and he informed me `bout how it all works. He owned a plane at one time, too. Not a `coupe.
