>And you can rest assured the insurer will deny any claim on that one.
Some years back I owned an Ercoupe insured by AIG that was totaled. At no time did they ask for logs, paper work, etc. I provided a written statement of the incident, and an estimate of the damage signed by an A&P IA (Not me). They simply stated that the amount of damage resulted in a "total" and gave me an opportunity to buy back the plane. They issued a check for the insured amount less the amount I had bid. In addition I recieved a refund for the unused portion of the policy. When I purchased my replacement aircraft I was insured by the same company with no penalty. Cheers: Paul N1431A 2AZ1
