you have to be kidding aren't you???
if you don't know about all the homebuilt kit planes you have to be a
complete idiot.

He's from India, maybe? So why not cut him some slack. It's just a
matter of time before BYB emerges from his cave with a cudgel and attacks.

Well as far as i know the concept of home homebuilt aircraft is very
vague because it would work only the aircraft controls are very easy
to understand or a person building it a pilot himself, else, either
the aircraft would crash or it wouldn't take-off. The second thing is
that if they are factory made then such aircrafts would be too costly
to be owned by a common man. Is there really any cheap and durable
homebuilt aircraft?

Well t-h-a-n-k y-o-u, Mr. Ugly American for putting a legitimate
posters question down in flames. I have no doubt, "Gilligan," you
have never been out of the U.S, let alone India, or you wouldn't have
posted anything like this. How old are you anyway?

-=:|SAJAN|:=- , I would like to apologize for my moronic countryman's
(Gilan's) senseless attack on you. I was in Mumbi a couple of years
ago, struggling with the government's ATC there. They still seem
determined to keep foreign commercial air traffic at a standstill. Do
they allow many experimentals to fly there?

Best wishes,

pacplyer

Would have to agree with pac on this. Sorry about the moron Sajan.

Well thanx sean n "pacplyer" (i wonder what it means). Thanx for
showing ur concern. Now i think i should be in america to buy a mini
aircraft. Still i think that someday i wud own one. There was a news
in the papers on 27th Dec that the government has started allowing
some private individuals n flying clubs to fly their private aircrafts
at the domestic airport in Mumbai. I dont think they allow Foreign
individuals or any experimentals to fly right now. But they soon
will(thats what i think). I think that answers ur question. Thanx
again.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A USED certified aircraft is the USA is USUALLY cheaper to
purchase than constructing an equivalent NEW homebuilt.

One can USUALLY buy a used homebuilt cheaper than
a comparable one can be built new.

CAUTION:
Before you take me to task for my statements.....
be sure to read carefully for full understanding.


Barnyard BOb -- almost common man



This statement isn't exactly true. As per usual Bob didn't do his
homework. Yes you can buy a used, certified aircraft for less then
completing most homebuilt kits. Example, I can buy a mid 60's Cessna
150 for appox. $18-20,000 and fly today. But look at what you get, a
powerplant that is 40 years old, been rebuilt at least twice or more,
and timed out. Add $15,000 within 2 years. Seats that are worn to the
point of replacement, at least one instument will need replacing
immediatly, and one at a time within the next few years will need
repair or replacement. Although the person selling the plane will tell
you "all a/d's have been done, it has been my experience that there is
always one not done. Not to mention what was missed "accidently" on
the last anual. I hope you get the point. After 4-5 years of building
a plane, you have a brand new plane that will probebly last you a
lifetime. Own a 40 year old trainer for 5 years and tell me you spent
less money and have any thing worth what a 5 year old, one owner plane
is worth.

Isn't it ducky to know that Mr. Parker has the market
cornered on truth, justice and the American way?

Happy New year to all.....

Surely, Lou is seen as a much bigger man for it.
