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.

"pacific flyer" is pronounced somewhat comically where I used to be
based for six years in the Philippine Islands. Since the language
the Tagolog, does not have an constanant for "f", a "p" sound is
substituted by the locals.

When say, a mechanic would ask where the logbook is, the ramp agent
would point to the flight crew and say:

"Sirrr, it's being taken out to the plane by that pair of plyers."

so I "plied" mostly the pacific for about ten years on the 747 and
A310 before getting sick of it and comming back home. Mostly I missed
being home where I could tinker on my homebuilt "quickie" which is an
obsolete design that's taking me way to long to get flying. With the
exception of ultralights at Clark, experimental aviation was not
allowed in the Philippines either.

I'd say that if you like working with your hands and you are very
patient, building an airplane at home can be a lot of fun. Plan on
ten years to get it done though. ;-)
