That's exactly what happened to a buddy of mine. He had his Cessna 210 insured for $50K (the amount of his loan). When a freak wind storm flipped it, they paid my friend $50K so fast it made his head spin. That was easily a $120K airplane at the time. Although it sounds like a bad accident, the damage was relatively minor. No skin crinkles at all.
I don't fault the insurance company though. He made the deal with them, trying to get by on the cheap. It just happened to jump up and bite him bigtime.
Lesson learned is to buy as much hull insurance as you can afford to receive if they total it.
