Guest Cloudsuck Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Some months ago I started a fighting fund to raise money for the guys who had their aircraft destroyed during a microburst while representing RAAus at Avalon. The fund is now closed. Thanks to those who donated. It raised a little over $300 which was shared by three aircraft owners. All in all a pretty disappointing effort.
markendee Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I was thinking of starting a fund to help me pay my insurance but I don't want to be disappointed too. Mark D
Guest Wigg Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 As a receiver of part of this fund. We would really like to say how much we appreciated the donation no matter how big or small. It came at a time when it was needed. When we have the plane up & flying again we hope then to be able to put the money back into the fund & some more beside. Thank you to those who donated. We are up to painting the plane & then have to get a new prop & spinner to finish it off, so hopefully by November this year we will be able to fly again. Regards John & Sue Wiggett

Our club member Brian has his Savanah flying after a costly and extensive rebuild. Be sure to post some photos of the plane when she is finished. Regards.
Bidgee Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 All in all a pretty disappointing effort. Perhaps, but personally I'm not inclined to give money to somebody who wouldnt stump up the insurance premium. They took a calculated risk and lost. While I sympathise with them I have enough trouble insuring my assets without helping somebody else with theirs. Scott
