      Yeah well i'm not desperate to get rid infact I might not but it's been sitting here for around 3 months without being used so I'm thinking it might be time to move it on

      You will get more for it if you split it and sell everything separately. It's more hassle but potentially worth it.

      If you have a good crop of spares, then they would essentially be all profit, if you're looking at say

      In my opinion, I've been there, start with hypers, it'll keep costs down. Then if the interest carries on you can go from there!

      I'm surprised they don't have auto land by now the quad copters can track you filming you while you do whatever your doing so Surley that tech could be used in planes somehow.

      I hope they do auto-parachutes they are going to need it when I get up there, years ago I had a go on my mates Heli my god was that difficult, I would have got it off the ground without his instructions but I was only about 12/13 at the time.

      I've had a few planes in my time but slower older ones

      Well I've just spoken with him, and he doesn't mind which way cash or insurance So like Noj said I will get some quotes this week and and present them to him and see what he says

      yes I have courtesy car cover but it should be his insurance I go through not mine surely?

    3. Noj

      Noj

      You'll both report it, you'll get your courtesy car, his company will be billed by your company etc etc...you may have to pay your excess, which will be recovered from his insurers...a ball ache in some ways, but if you need a car, then the only feasible option.

      Remember this, YOU have the final say on who repairs your motor, if the insurers recommend somewhere you're not happy with. You'll have to be firm, mind ;)

      Not always these days Noj. Majority of insurers now charge you an extra 150 - 300 if you dont use their repairer. As your guarantee is with the insurace company, they charge the extra to cover themselves if the job isnt up to scratch. My last 3 insurers wanted 300 more on the excess if I chose bodyshop.
