That's why I always research and investigate before doing any transaction with a new entity. Fortunately with State Farm, you will never going to get scammed.

Actually I did, albeit not as much as I should. All indicators looked good. I should have called the repair facility. I did check BBB and googled plus i talked to him

But he does not work for a big business like State Farm. He represents something else that I never heard about it before. That's why doing a good research is important. Always go with the big businesses in the field. If someone cheated you from a big business like State Farm, you can go to the central offices and resolve the issue easily because you have the proof in papers.

They told me it's repair/replacement coverage, my deductible applies. I use Verifly for liability coverage.

I'd love to know which agent you spoke with. Mine checked and said they wouldn't cover commercial ops, even at an extra cost. $60/year is worth it. Wish my guy would work with me...
I personally don't understand why it would matter if you flew hobby or commercial - a crash is a crash... kinda irrelevant if you were flying hobby or commercial - IMHO

I am just guessing but when you do commercial flight, you are under a property and if it's happened that you crashed and damaged private property, they don't want to cover liability. When you flying for fun, they want to cover the damage of your bird. I maybe wrong. I do not have any insurance for my phantom.
Thanks, I've to call them and see what they say. I have liability for commercial or recreational flights, but would be interested in repair/replacement coverage.

Maybe they think commercial ops will mean flying if busy areas with people and businesses, but hobbyist will fly in more scenic remote places. No idea. He couldn't explain it to me.

Liability is all I can think why they don't want to mess with it.

I'm just saying what the agent told me and that it didn't matter. Damage is Damage.. I haven't even unpacked my new P4P yet. Weather yesterday was lousy. Contractor just left my house (been here all am). Bit windy today. Plus if the state farm deal falls through I will get the DJI care. Once you turn that bird on the 48 hour clock starts with reference to buying DJI care. One second after they will cut you off.

Wow, sorry to hear that DD. I'm still waiting on my bank and Visa to decide on my claim. But, I did file with the Cincinnati BBB, so that's in the works.
...just thinking about what you said though. Amex is stating that the aircraft is excluded? You need to explain to them that it was a service/repair contract on electronics (not the bird itself) and see what they say. Can't hurt to try.
Captain.... Thanks.. but the bird is damaged which is probably why the included it in aircraft category, which it is.
Once I saw it in their policy in writing, i gave up
F____ this neary guy. He has caused me SO much stress pain and aggravation

Ok, darn. From your other post, is 1000 the best Maverick can do to fix it? Maybe if you negotiate a bit it could get better..? Just sayin'....

I think you should try to find a lawyer as well and try to sue this guy for lying and causing all these issues. I know a lawyer will not be cheap but if you sue for $50k and the lawyer take half... That's a great win there.
Captain, I tried....
Macon... good idea but a lot of hassle time effort etc. Not saying won't. But i'm pretty busy as is.
He NEEDS jail time !!!!! Theft by Deception is the charge and based on the amount this is easily a Felony
Hope he ROTS in HELL

I;ve been following along,. this guy, jeez!! sorry for you guys. From the response, do you think this all came to a head, before he got into allot of peoples pockets?
Are we talking a few phantom pilots, or are we talking 100's of people?
I'd hate to think he's off somewhere ordering Mi-Ti's with a blonde on his arm!!
