    Instructors are there to teach people to fly they have no need to know maintenance as well the problem stems from the early days when most people were enthusiasts building and maintaining simple aircraft ,now we have aircraft which make GA look stupid and people who want to use them like motor cars, and see Raaus as a cheap way to do it with little regard(and no knowledge) to the maintenance needs of these complex aircraft Mick W

    In many years of dealing with insurance repairs of aircraft both GA and Raaus I only know of one claim not paid . experience tells me that they will pay claims that I thought due to circumstances should not be paid . unfortunately we all pay increased premiums as a result Mick W
