So staying tuned to hear what the insurance adjuster has to say. In the meantime, I am actively searching for a replacement. The logistics and costs surrounding an import from the United States into Canada means I am looking for a nice airplane in the great white north! Any leads would be appreciated. I am watching the usual suspects - controller, barnstormers, trade-a-plane. Thanks fellas! Eric

Probably in the $23k ballpark. I almost bought it myself.

Because we are suposedly ''different'' we also have our own classified website... and many quebecers are not placing ads in Canadian Trade plane (the COPA newspaper) which means many good and nice plane are only visible in local ads. If you need help for translation let me know, if you need a mechanic for a pre-buy let me know (I know many of them) Good luck in your search and sorry for your damaged plane Fred

You might be able to find a project more easily than a complete plane, and use your current plane as a donor. However, I'm trying to correlate "flyable" and "substantial damage" . . .  | | | | Joined: Mar 2013 Posts: 2,370 Likes: 156 Member/1500+posts | Member/1500+posts Joined: Mar 2013 Posts: 2,370 Likes: 156 | Thanks Fred.

What Keith said - the insurance company will pay you the agreed value, then take your plane and immediately put it up for salvage auction. You can always bid to buy it back. If you win the bid, great! You probably won't have to change the registration (the insurance company won't change the registration to themselves, they'll "own" it for too short a period). If you don't win the bid, you still have the insurance payout to buy another 150.
