A typical gear collapse in an FX with prop damage, engine teardown and one or two wings damaged can run north of $60k. Insurance is getting impossible to get. Just got a quotes on a new SS. I have 10 years of experience in tail draggers and no accident. 2 bids. One would only insure 2/3 of hull value for about twice what I have been paying. The other want 4X the hull rate to insure it fully. The insurance market is nuts and getting worse for many reasons but the losses they are seeing with the cub gear collapses in recent model airplanes is not helping. New pilots with no tail dragger experience are having a hard time finding insurance, so this issue hitting the resale market.
You just don’t GET IT!!! You are making a comparison that when you roll your car the windshield breaks, and that the windshield is to weak!!! Don’t do dumb **** and you might not beak stuff. Spend you effort getting some good training, because you obviously don’t UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU’RE DOING.... with that said I’ll gladly take your money when you ball up your plane to unball it....
