<VV> Hard landing Firewall damage

[Matt]

How can you not know who flew it last? Logbook!!

Small plane sare worthless right now… Trade-a -plane  is 2” thick!

Key WORD is “insured AMOUNT”  take the $$,  buy a nice  Airframe with High time engine…

 Our club 1973 C177B suffered damage to and behind the firewall due to a hard landing. Insurance wants to total the aircraft based on estimated repair costing more than 70% of insured value.

No one in the club is taking credit for the hard landing and this has me concerned as this giving the insurance company a way out.

Any thoughts or advice.
