Translated:
Lots of people have asked - The answer is NO, you have to pay the same amount whether you fly a PicooZ in a private room or a 1/4 scale Jumbo jet at an airport. We are in charge of ALL flying toys regardless of size.
If you're a good insured boy, you wont fly at any of those naughty uninsured events that arent approved of by us. In fact, if any "unapproved people" start flying, you should leave.
There are manuals and proceedures to be followed you know, and we will discuss them at our authorised ruling body and get back to you as to our decision.
Dont be fooled, those little Helis can hurt you too, play safe, pay our fee and join our association - support us - then you'll be covered and nothing bad will happen to your house and money. except for our little fees of course, but we're worth it - you wouldnt want anything nasty to happen now would you ?
Please feel free to get in touch with us when you decide to "do the right thing"
All your base are belong to us.
And people wonder why I dont like "Associations" ![Rolling Eyes](images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

Off topic to the original post, but more in response to Brett's post.
I think home insurance is pretty useful, I live on the top floor of an apartment block, so its pretty secure, along with the fact that is was such a pain to carry things up here, I think I am pretty unlikley to get robbed. Fire is probably the only real risk. Now I am like Brett, I have a million bits and peices that have no large value, in fact the most expensive things in my house are my fridge and bed, both bought new very recently.
However, suppose there was a fire, or someone did come try and rob me and damaged things as they often seem to. If you add up all the little things to replace suddenly it could cost a lot. When I moved in I rang up AAMI to get a quote on renters insurance, it costs me $100 a year to have $25,000 of fire and theft cover. It was super easy, I rang them up, gave them my credit card details, and I was done.
Considering if there was a fire then it would be at least $15,000 to replace things like fridge, tables, chairs, cupboards, paintings, computers, desks, shelves, appliances, TV, stereo, bed, balh blah blah $100 is not a lot. Even if someone breaks in and just steals my TV, DVD player and computer, I get a new one, $100 well spent.
Anyway, this might not work for different situations, but $100 a year is well spent knowing that if something happenes to my stuff I can get it all replaced at no costs to me.
