I currently live in the Netherlands and I'm looking to relocate.
I've long wanted to learn to fly and build a light (experimental
and/or ultralight) airplane and I'm wondering which countries would
be well suited for that, economically and with regards to
permits/licenses.

Consider France, you can have an official airport address for the
plane.
No technical inspection required for ultra light.
3 years between inspections if you built a plane
1 years between inspections if you by an homebuilt plane

Thanks Philippe,

I have to out myself as a total newbie he
What's the significance of having an official airport address for the
plane?
Does that mean the plane resides at the airport? Expensive?
I was kinda imagining having a trailer and a plane with removable wings.
But I have no idea which is better, or which is cheaper, or what.

To venture even further into speculation territory, I always thought that
some homebuilt pilots in places like the US actually take off and land on
their own land, but I guess that's only possible with fairly remote farms?

To add yet more speculation, I guess that in Europe that kind of thing is a
no go?
