Married Man Pro Tip: Mavic "Replacement Fund"

[FlyGuy8675309]

We all know the day where a crash, firmware update , or other mishap will necessitate getting a replacement Mavic. This is often causes problems, not only of the financial nature, but also in the marital arena.

SOLUTION:
Start a Mavic replacement fund

PROCEDURE:
1. Whenever you are buying groceries, gas, etc in an establishment that sells gift cards, buy a gift card for where ever you buy from (Amazon, Ebay) for a nominal amount ($5-$20). Destroy the receipt.

2. Repeat step 1 forever until you need to replace your Mavic.

3. If you need to replace, use the procured cards, and have it shipped to the office or collect it at the depot. The Missus is none the wiser.

That's it! It's a win-win-win!

I'm not scared of my wife

I don't have one. Makes the whole thing MUCH easier

I really didn't need that Spark...

My fund was $60 and I'm covered for a year. If you are in the US you may wanna look into state Farm for insurance.

My wife is always telling to go between trees, fly in tight places, over water. And she says if you crash get it fixed, no big deal. I married up lol.

Just play around with a more expensive hobby for awhile then go back to the Mavic . I went from racing motorcycles to flying drones as a hobby so my wife is totally on board . The Mavic cost about the same as two sets of tires for a weekend at the track and we won't even discuss the $$ saved in crashing

My wife would get suspicious if I started asking to do the grocery shopping!

I was able to buy a Mavic Pro without worry because I have an ex- wife now!

Is the StateFarm insurance separate or part of your homeowners insurance ? I wonder how making a 500 dollar claim on a homeowners policy might affect your future claims / renewability ?

It is a separate Policy call "Personal Property Insurance"
This is what they need to insure it

1. Bill of Sale or Copy of Purchase receipt
2. Serial #
3. Your Mailing Address, DOB, Drivers License #
4. Purpose of Drone - Commercial/Personal
5. Weight of Drone including any payload

Any claim will not have an effect on your Home Owners policy, most home owners policies will cover your liability only if you are flying recreationally but will not cover property loss.
