Hi guys,
First introduce myself, I'm European (Belgium) but I'm living in Dubai (United Arab Emirates), where I fly Airbus 330 and 340's as an ATP.
I used to have a COZY (? la Rutan Canard), which I had to sell, because I could'nt take it to Dubai.... registration issue.
Now, I'm very interested in starting a RV7 quickbuilt, but the only uncertainty is again the registration issue... The country where I live now (and probably for minimum another 10years or so), does not accept homebuilts on it's own registration... So one has to built under a foreign register.
Working under the Belgian registration is not possible neither, because every annual inspection needs to be done in Belgium...
Question: Can I built and N-register my RV7 outside the US. Remember I'm European and not an US citizen. Of course I like to built in my country of residence, UAE.
Maybe there is a way out to solve my problem.... suggestions?
I know that there' re lots of N registered single engines in Europe (which are owned by a US thrust, on paper...), but I have never been in contact with somebody building a N homebuilt outside the US.
Thanks for all your replies,
Best regards,
