Yes, it's worth looking into insurance coverage when flying planes. The 
rules are quite different between countries though. In Switzerland for 
example you are required by law to have full insurance coverage if you 
fly anything above 500g. Some private liability insurance policies 
include that, others offer it as an extra. The national association 
(Aeroclub) also offers it as a service to members.

I guess that Jay's creation is below those 500g, so from a legal point 
of view he'd be safe in Switzerland. I believe Austria doesn't have that 
500g limit. Germany on the other hand is a lot more restrictive 
(including a weight limit of 5kg unless you're flying on a field with 
explicit permission). Oh the fun when law starts to interfere with your 
hobby...
