Hello all and again many thanks for the prompt and informative response to
my posts.
My last email concerned a flat tire I had while taxiing back to my tie down
spot at Reno-Stead Airfield. I got new tubes and tires installed Tuesday of
this week and had planned to fly Wednesday...
Wednesday morning I received an email from an insurance agent saying...I
can't make this up...my Dimona had been hit by a Cessna 180 owned by
their insured!!! Seems the owner had landed, taxied to his tie down and was
walking to his car when he heard a noise and turned to see his C-180
resting against my port wing!!! He says he thought he had set the parking
brake and the wind must have blown his aircraft into mine!!! About 100
yards,,,

My wife and I raced up to the airfield to find that there's a hole punched
in the top of my port wing, possibly caused by his propeller tip and some
TE damage where the C 180 came to rest against the wing.

I paid the greedy bastard at the shop for two tubes, tires and labor
(labour?) and am still down hard for a while.
Sooo my question is what is the present value of a Dimona H-36 with U.S.
credentials, and is there any expected loss of value due to the damage
history it now has?
Kinda wordy but I'm REALLY upset at the moment.
Many Thanks and
Best Regards,
Kurt
