Little busy but thanks for all the support and information. I'll have some more pics and questions later this evening.

bad crunch on the RV
I slid off an icy runway in 2003 and crunched my RV-6A . I called the FAA and explained what happened. They asked, was anyone injured? Did I want to file an accident form? "NO, NO", I replied with a Mayday tone.
The insurance co said if it is not required, Great. The insurance co. requested two estimates. I had two shops look 'carefully' and estimate 'generously'. One estimate was $14,500., the other was $13,500. Labor was $7,500. parts about $6,500.
The insurance co (subtracted $200. deductable) and sent me a check for $13,300. I did the repair/replace/repaint, and the 6A has a smily face, and so do I, Again...
The Insurance co was pleasant and helpful as was the FAA.--I know an FAA guy that has an RV... They know we are a Great team.

Sad day for sure. It will get better.
It doesn't matter if the guy is a jerk or a nice guy. Although if he was nice it makes it seem easier to swallow. your insurance should be the one dealing with him. Also DOCUMENT everything. get a tablet and write down everything, time date, what was said between parties. In court it matters not who is right or wrong...it matters who has the documentation.
since the guy already is being a weazel, get a jump on it now. Got AOPA?, contact their Legal.
good luck. If you need some pieces/parts to speed up the process, let us know, maybe we can help. I know mine won't be flying for a year or more.

My thoughts are with you on this tragic event. Hopefully everything works out. As hard as it may be, stay positive. You have a family here that is pulling for you.

Ouch!!
Just sat down to cruise the news and this heart wrenching story pops up. Only those of us who build and fly can know the grief you are experiencing. I'm not sure I'd have it in me to do it right now...I'd have to wait awhile to gear up the psyche for the repair job.
All the Best,

So Sorry....
Hey Dana, I know I can't help you much from over here, but I'm very sorry for you. This is really sad. I don't know what I'd have done in this situation but it would not have been very civilized. All the best and get her flying again.

Dana--
I can't add any advice, but I will add my condolences. And say that I respect you a TON for keeping your cool...that must have been a monumental task! I know I would not have been able to do it.
Best of luck getting this sorted out and getting back in the air-
Joe

What happened?
Dana,
Can you tell us a bit about how this happened? I'm very sorry to see the damage to your beautiful airplane, and I'm glad nobody was hurt.
Regards,
Martin
