Builder's Insurance Suggestions

What the Ins company says they will cover and what they really pay out
after a loss is the true story here. It probably would be cheaper to
get a rider on the homeowners policy if you are that worried. Either
way you will get short changed for them.

U should read your insurnace policies so u know what is covered and what isnt.
Also a homeowners policy will not cover aircraft in any way shape or form so
parts for an aircraft arent covered. Also there is a limit to property that is
not at the address of the homeowners policy. Its all up to the person, if u
can afford to lose what your kit cost u, dont buy insurance. If you cant buy
insurance.

One set of magic words is an "inland marine" rider. Can be written to cover
pratcically _anything_, anywhere, for damage from _any_ source. Tends to
*not* be inexpensive coverage.

one magic word is aircraft. Tends to void any personal lines coverage. Inland
marine wont cover aircraft parts, least not a personal inland marine policy. A
surplus lines commercial one would but then again there you would run in the
minimum premium clause which would make it expensive. Least thats the way it
is in wis and the other states i write insurance in.

My shop is covered by State Farm...They don't care what is in there.
They cover up to a percent of the shop value. I also carry "builder's
insurance from Avemco which at a current value (including engine,
prop and some instruments) is $80,000 it runs some where around $400 a
year.

Considering all the equipment in the shop it is well worth it.

Roger, I would really read the policy over closely. I think u will find that
wont cover the aircraft or aircraft parts. Least here in wis state farm doesnt
cover anything having to do with aircraft.
