As per usual Bob didn't do his homework. ====================================== wry smile Isn't it ducky to know that Mr. Parker has the market cornered on truth, justice and the American way? He's right. Certified parts and keeping an aircraft certified requires outrageous costs. But with an experimental you can still do it safely and reasonably. And not get shaken down in the process. If I had to use a Dukes or Weldon boost pump with my injected Continental, it would cost me at least $800. I'll use one from the automotive suppliers, for $30 or so. Mr. Parker is a ducky, and keen-thinking, sort of a guy. And Mr. Bonomi is funny. Happy New year to all..... even the petty malevolents that cannot resist one last cheap at Unka BOb before the year closes out. Oh, you pooah, piddyfu' widdle avuncuwah, but hewwish monstah. Surely, Lou is seen as a much bigger man for it. Make you wezzowutions and twy to behave, cwusty ow' son of a succubus. Barnyard Bum -- |

Begin Rant Mode I marvel at how even the most carefully worded post, such as your earlier post in this thread (replete with emphasized adjectives no less), can attract the inevitable uselessnet nit-picker. In this case, as is often the case, the nit-picker didn't actually refute what you said but worded his post as a refutation anyway ("...not exactly true... didn't do your homework"). Ironically, as is also often the case, the nit-picker's post had more true nits than his target post. Just another day in uselessnet. End Rant Mode Happy New year to all..... Yes, happy new year!

I sold a Berkut kit to Mariano Osmeña, he finished it and has it flying there, though I don't think he flies it much. He also had a Lancair 320. The Manila police department had a Lancair ES but pranged it at the Manila airport. For several years the Lancair fastbuild kits were manufactured on Cebu, and a number of them were completed and flew there. Import duty on things like engines and instruments are nasty. As for India, a friend of mine sold his Long EZ to a flying club there. Well, I walked into this one Richard. (but I'm glad to hear it.) I'm sure what you say is true. When I was there, however, we found it impossible for common citizens or honest Ex-Pats to get permission to operate experimentals anywhere in Luzon where we lived (70 nm west of Manila.) But maybe that's because we were trying to import them, I don't know. We were considering going together on a shipping container until we were told "no experiments allowed in P.I. sir." But as with most things in the P.I, you can get different answers depending on who you talk to. If you're a "nobleman" or willing to pay officials an "extra fee, sir" which is a bribe, then anything's possible. But operating that way has its own set of pitfalls. If you came into a disagreement with Erap's government sometime in the future (like over tax extortion,) sometimes they would deport the poor guy based on some bribe he made in the past. While not common, it was possible. This happened to my wife's employer. I went through the same kind of difficulties with my imported car and boat. Drove me to drinking! Every couple of months someone would invent a "new mandatory sticker, sir" for the car or boat that only cost 500 pesos, but you had to drive all over the place looking for unmarked gov offices, filling out reams of paperwork, safety inspections, vin tracings, etc, and often these offices would start fighting with each other over who was in charge, and they commonly would call you up and say you had to start all over again. So I just parked my motorcycle. It wasn't worth all the aggravation! The imported car had to have a "conduction pass" every five days. It was maddening. Guys checked into the Lancair factory, but when their round eyes were spotted, the prices skyrocketed. So my friend Mark borrows the missionary Cherokee six as a last resort to get in some GA flying, and it seemed like everywhere he goes some little gov turd shows up with a clipboard demanding thousands of pesos in landing fees. So is experimental aviation legal in the P.I? I guess it is now. Is it do-able? When I was there in the 90's I never saw any homebuilts. Lot's of B-18's and DC-3's though. Cheers, pacplyer |
