Good afternoon Dan,

Each insurance company views this differently. There are some insurance companies that will not quote a salvaged aircraft, that was rebuilt. Be sure to mention this to your broker when you are looking to get quotes on a aircraft with this status.

Let us know if we could be of further assistance.

FWIT this is the aircraft I flipped on landing after Subby H4 quit suddenly near Augusta, Missouri on 10/13/2013. You can read about it in the NTSB accident reports.

In retrospect, as I told Dan in phone conversation, I should have totaled the wreck. It was an emotional decision to rebuild it. I made a hasty decision with AVEMCO to accept a partial pay out and keep the wreckage.

In the end the only part of airplane kept were the wings which were QB. I bought a QB fuselage from vans along with another emmenage kit.

The airplane was rebuilt with the Subby H6 engine which I struggled with for several years and finally gave up over cooling issues. I then installed a new BPE IO360 with AFP FI. The airplane flew fine and without issue with the Lycoming engine.

I was having lunch with a friend one day and we talked about building another airplane. He and I had been thinking another airplane for sometime, he wanted to do the 12, I wanted to do an 8. So I put the 7A up for sale on this forum and it sold in about 6 hours. I delivered it to Oregon, spent a few days with new owner and his wife, had a few beers and a good visit.

That was November 2011. Unfortunately new owner came down with health issues a couple weeks later and the 7A has not flown since.

The airplane in my opinion is solid but not a show airplane. There were modifications trying to get Subby to work, 2 engines, and also tried it as tail dragger for a time before I knew how to fly tail dragger, converted it back to trike with H6 problems. My plate was too full.

Anyway I don't know condition of avionics or panel upgrade that was in progress, but I would venture the engine is OK even after sitting 6 years. It and Catto 3 blade are almost brand new out of the box from Barrett.
