covered by the policy.
Important: 
In some countries, you are required by law to have insurance for all model aircraft!
You should also check the local statutory regulations for using model aircraft. In Germany, for 

example, the regulations for operators of model aircraft of all types are established in the German 

Air Traffic Ordinance. Any breaches of the statutory regulations established could lead to severe 

penalties as well as restrictions to your insurance cover.
