This only works if the auto insurer will cover it for REPLACEMENT
value. *A brand new Cobra trailer will run around $15K. *If the
insurance company decides to depreciate it at the same rate as a car,
you're going to wish you did pay that $100/yr to bundle it in with the
sailplane.

My single axle 18m Cobra trailer cost ~$17k (at today's exchange rate)
two years ago, plus you have to pay to deliver it from the factory to
the port, shipping to the USA, insurance en-route, pickup from the
port of you are paying somebody to do that, etc. So add another few $k
for all that. And I assume Cobra prices have gone up a little since
the. Is there a lot of tow-out/rigging gear? maybe another $k for
that? Lets call it low $20k for replacement cost. I'm guessing a 15m
Cobra trailer well optioned, delivered etc. will be ~$18k?

mmm another thought, I assume the aviation insurers will pick up any
state sales tax. I believe it's a state by state thing as to how
exactly this is handled (it is for cars). Something to ask next time I
renew, and that Costello invoice is lurking in my in-box.

Ditto, with Tom, I always thought the trailer insurance with the
glider through Costello was a pretty good deal.
