Actually I checked the insurance. It covers me and the renters. That is why he charges more than another local flight school. One renter at the other flight school found this out the hard way when he bought a 152 that he wrecked. I carry extra for piece of mind... my wife and I have assets I would like to protect.
Also, for those pissing about CFI pay, when you looked at flight schools, did you look for the cheapest flight school, or the flight school with the most experienced instructors? When you got that multi-engine rating, did you go to the mega-school with instructors running from airplane to airplane getting as much ME time as they could, or did you hunt out the high time ME instructor who costs more, but actually has some real world ME experience and takes his/her time teaching you right? Have you gone out of your way to fly at least once or twice with an more experienced, but more expensive instructor for specialty training such as spins? The first question I am always asked is not about my experience, but how much I charge.
