They do make a mess of things. I wasn't flying it, my A&P was.

mora, that was my first thought too.

Is this an insurance claim HT?  If so, and you do claim, what would be the effect on your future premiums?

I think of repairs on a sliding scale here...dunno about anywhere else:

Motorcycle...minimum $250 just to have someone look at it

Car...minimum $500

Boat...Break out another thousand

Plane...????

That would have been about a 1k hit, but Randy my A&P who was flying the plane did the repair. It was in the gas tank, he removed the tank, could get inside and iron out the dent.

Looks like brand new after the repaint of the tank.
