Default Glider Insurance, which to choose?

This only works if the auto insurer will cover it for REPLACEMENT
value. A brand new Cobra trailer will run around $15K. If the
insurance company decides to depreciate it at the same rate as a car,
you're going to wish you did pay that $100/yr to bundle it in with the
sailplane.
