I wouldn't agree that he got stiffed. That is pretty universal that
they don't
cover mechanical failures. You are insuring yourself and the plane
against
accidents, vandalism, and natural disasters. That is what most if not
all
policies spell out.

I know of one guy that got stiffed by the insurance co. It wasn't do
to a mod though. He was flying an arrow and blew a jug off. He landed
it on a golf course with no other damage. They said they don't cover
engine failures. And told him he did too good a job. If he would have
crashed it they would have had to pay off. So he got stuck paying for
everything. And the dissassembly and trasport back to the airport.
