where do I get R/C airplane insurance

[Freshgeardude]

well I bought an airplane today and at the hobby store they told me at the place i need to go to fly the plane I need insurance in case i hit someone. So they told me go to this website www.modelaircraft.org so I go there and I have been spending like 30 minutes trying find how I order it and how much. the website sucks so can someone help me find out how to order it or if there is another website thats better.

I have no idea how much it's supposed to cost, I just looked at the site for 5 seconds and found that page which seems like what you were looking for

Hey, everyone has an opinion, infact they're like assholes, but they all stink.

My Grandma got hit by an errant RC plane, back when I was a lot younger. It cut and gouged the crap out of her. The guy responsible paid mucho money for her expenses.

Buy the insurance, and don't listen to twerps like doze.

OP, it's your potential liablility. How do you want to handle it?

 

[Freshgeardude]

well does anyone know where to get it how much etc. this website sucks I can find anything

 

[Freshgeardude]

well tank god I found it its only 15 bucks for me yay

 

[schneiderguy]

If I die tomorrow, I want it to be because I got hit by a model plane :thumbsup: :Q

 

[cherrytwist]

Wow, I've heard it all now.

A lot of things can possibly hurt people. Using your reasoning everybody should go out and buy golf, fishing, croquet, bowling, frisbee, raquetball... insurance just in case. :thumbsdown:

Unless you are flying your plane daily at the packed public park or in some type of exhibition OP don't waste your money.

 

[Freshgeardude]

[Freshgeardude]

well they place that is the only place around were i live says i have to have insurance

It's pretty much required by any club and for good reason. When you're hurtling around the equivalent of weedwacker engines at 50+mph in the sky it's going to do more than your average croquet ball. All he has to do is become a member of the AMA and he's insured.

Why don't you buy an cube of insurance about the size of an alternator?
