Telling us what country you're in would help someone point you in the right direction!

Good luck with the AV130, should be a fairly easy fix!
There's plenty of folks on here that are UK based and know the answer to your questions, I'm sure they'll be joining in once they see the thread. I hope you don't mind but I added UK to the beginning of the thread title so the right folks will notice.

I got a quote from these people 1 1/2 years ago of about £500. Not sure if they are still doing it.

Things that made me laugh about insurance. "Public liability insurance - alleged negligence". Now stop & think carefully!!!! So would you admit to flying negligently?
According to the LEGAL definition of "Negligence" = "Conduct that falls below the standards of behavior established by law for the protection of others against unreasonable risk of harm. A person has acted negligently if he or she has departed from the conduct expected of a reasonably prudent person acting under similar circumstances".
So that tells ME...If I had departed from the conduct expected...by others in the same situation.
EXAMPLE> An ESC dies in flight, your aircraft spins & crashes into someones car roof? Were you negligent??
ANSWER> NO!!!! How were you to know an electronic failure was going to happen...proove I did know it was going to fail!!!!!
"Unreasonable risk"...so is there a reasonable risk?
Your BMFA insurance is the same. If the claiming/injured party can't claim negligence...your insurance doesnt pay, so they take you for a private prosecution & do it that way...for their injury or loss...guess what? Your BMFA cant cover you in the private!!!!!

I have just spoken to a chap who's company does the PL insurance for the BMFA. They are trying to set up a blanket policy for commercial aerial works to bring the cost down...I am going to call him back next week after his meeting and I'll let you guys know the outcome.

Undigging this old thread... What about insurance now in 2014? Anybody can recommend a company that does Public liability, And break/crash/fire and theft cover? I found some and asked for quotes, but if somebody knew the magical one, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!
