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,,,Son Of A Bitch!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.Son Of A Bitch! 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,
KurtDimona N16EB S/N 3660
