Well, I'm not really in limbo because I've moved on and am living my life. I do still leave the door open to consider a possible reconciliation in the future, but for now W clearly isn't even in the ballpark regarding that. So onward I go smile We've been S'd over a year and we divided up everything except the house at that time, so the only thing that remains is that I'll have to take out a sizable loan to compensate her for her house equity (the house is paid for). That's already factored into my budget so whenever the D happens it's covered.

It's a blast, and when you really get into it you get to know others who are into it as well, and its a close-knit group. The technology has gotten to the point where it's no longer costly to put a plane together, and once you learn how to make repairs the crashing isn't a big deal, most crashes are repairable. Most of my planes are balsa that I built up from kits and I tend to fly constant aerobatics on the hairy edge and so have crashed most of them, LOL! But once they're repaired you really can't tell.

Can you get insurance for that? Any way take care...


Not for your plane, but anyone can join the AMA and you automatically get coverage that covers damage you might cause to property (or invidivuals) if you crash. Most clubs and fly-ins require all pilots to be AMA members for that reason.
