Default Glider Insurance, which to choose?

that. BTW we recently had a nice Cobra trailer destroyed in California
in a rollover accident, the glider was not in the trailer and the car
driver was fine. One of the Cobra dealers mentioned to me that the
trailers are often significantly underinsured.

Another point to check out is that if you have your trailer covered by
your aviation policy and you need to use the liability coverage, the
insurance for the car probably will/may be the coverage in force when
the trailer is connected to the vehicle, not the aviation policy. Now,
I wonder, who covers liability if you're running down the road and the
trailer becomes disconnected from the tow vehicle and slams into
something, vehicle or aviation policy?!
