Up side down rebel
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 11:15 pm
Sorry to hear about your misfortune, Alister. I know
the feeling well. It happened to me in my early days
when learning to fly the tail dragger. I didn't flip
over, at least, but did break one landing gear and had
a prop strike. I had insurance, but made the mistake of
letting a professional AME try to fix it. They took 5
months to do what I could have done in about 3 weeks,
and in the end, I had to finish it anyways. So if you
can do it yourself, you should come out ahead. The one
positive with my experience, is that I was able to make
a deal with the insurance company and engine guy, and
ended up with an overhauled engine for a very, very
good price.
Best of luck, and hope you're back up before too long.
Walter

No injuries thank goodness, just me on board
and the belts worked fine
even remembered to protect my neck when I
released the belts!).
I believe the insurance company is OK with
me repairing it myself, so with
the funds provided I might be able to afford
a few enhancements and change
the layout of a few things.( great how
quickly human nature bounces back
isn't it!!)
I have to say I was a little disappointed at
the amount of damage to the
instrument panel forward area, but I guess
aircraft are not designed to
stand on their nose, are they.
And Bruce, you are dead right, that sums it
up perfectly, there is a
tendency to see how far you can push things
and I certainly do know now.
Faced with a marginal call next time I may
think a little more about it.
Half a Cheer
Alister
