Starduster project anyone

You simply bid what it is worth to you.
Why care what they hope to get?
Bid what it is worth to you, if you get it - good.
If you don't get it, Oh well some one paid too much
 
Why would an insurance company have to sell a fully functional airplane as part of an insurance claim?

The price of a paint job is more than the value of the plane, So they totaled it?

Because he clipped the other airplane with the prop. If a mandatory tear down is required it would be cheaper to total it rather than fix it, depending on what coverage he had.

The engine is a Lycoming 0-290- there is no mandatory tear down, Compliance with the AD is to inspect the crank gear and replace a couple parts.
But like I've said before most aircraft are not worth a new engine.

Especially amateur built. Might be better off parting it out.

So “fully functional airplane” means something different to them I guess.

Because, to me, a plane that had struck another with its prop and not yet been repaired would not be “fully functional”.

Yeah, I had that same thought. But it had to do with it being DISASSEMBLED. LOL
