BEagle, collecting cash from the renter is nothing new. Ive heard all sorts of third hand stories including one from an instructor who tells me that a student was required to cough up $600 for damaging the wingtip of a Warrior whilst parking it on the ramp (with an instructor on board as well. Apparently the instructor received a rollocking - instructors don't have any money anyway). I always take out renters insurance at great extra cost. Hopefully, it will protect my assets in the event of a mishap. Yes, the plastic cover on the end of a wing that contains the strobe is a pricey piece of kit as are other aviaton spares!

Yes - I know! About £40 plus VAT and fitting - I've had to replace ones that my customers have broken several times, but I've never passed the cost on.
Mad Jock - I couldn't possibly comment AT the contents of that e-mail. Hope you've e-mailed one of his potential customers as well!

At Britannia you are given a form to sign before you can fly, one of the stipulations is agreement to a $1000 excess.
When I've taken a courtesy car from BMW or Audi they normally have a £250 excess for their insurance, so I felt that this was acceptable.
cheers

Beagle have done with email.
Sorry for presuming, there is all sorts of amusing stuff about, which is even better than i sent you. Bogging in a jet then taking off again without an engineering inspection (That one was on TV)
Very famous chap, if you are speaking to aviation house ask about him. Even the girl at the front desk who fleeses the money off you goes white when you mention the name.
