Dear Truth Prevails, I feel very sorry for yourselves, you seem to be yet another of the people that Weaver has mislead. I appreciate that the legals were expensive and as such its a hard lesson to learn, both in terms of financial impact and perceived customer image. Your response was honest and frank. I guess in future both you and your insurers will apply better due diligence.
I doubt you would ever make the same mistake again. I guess the clue was the last line on page 1 of the public details availible on the FAA Airmans database for Weaver. Hopefully printing it here will help others avoid the same mistake

Hopefully your Insurance Company did payout for the damage to the Aircraft ( in view of the discrepancies in Weavers Licence and claimed ratings) and the reputation of all the innocent parties involved has not been damaged beyond repair.
