Hello Everyone, I had an Incidents not all to long ago and it caused some damage on my 1956 Cessna 172 Taildragger Conversion. I have tried to contact the STC holder and I can get no replies. I talked to my mechanic and he is having the same issues he said he could manufacture new parts as long...

Apologies, that was just in reference to the shop being backed up (just making jokes where I can) :).

No prop damage at all. Here is a picture of the plane post-accident from both sides.

Still waiting to hear how the brokerage and underwriter are going to handle the claim. For now the underwriter told me to have the shop look at it and give them a cost estimate/breakdown. Initially when they looked at it they didn't think it would cost over 30k, but that was just a quick walk...

Ground loop in Cessna 172 TW conversion.

Hello All! wanted to post some pictures of some damage and see how much y’all might think I might be looking at for repair costs. The shop is extremely backed up and won’t be able to get to my plane for a while so I figured I would see what the community thought as far as a *very* loose estimate.

NTSB is not investigating. The plane just has some sheet metal damage in a few spots wings, engine, prop are all unharmed (pretty lucky). PAPI lights are probably the most expensive part of the claim.

After looking through emails, they specifically asked for my tailwheel time. There is no official FAA designation otherwise I would have included that. The modification to a tailwheel is not new....the plane is a 1956 and the modification happened in 1997 (not that it really matters WHEN it...

Insurance is though Global Aerospace, Inc. I am a member of AOPA and I am calling in the morning when they open. Figured I would hop on here and see if anyone else had the some advice. I looked back at the application and I filled out every line and there was no place to determine if it was a...

Hey all, First time airplane owner here and within the first week of owning my Cessna 172 I hit a ground loop and did some damage to both the plane as well as some PAPI lights at the airport. When trying to work with insurance regarding covering the property damage at the airport as well as the...
