basically when you go abroad you have to "clear customs" in the country you are departing( normally a bloke looking idly at your documents/flight plan before walking to the nearest window to look at your aircraft before shruggin and signing your paperwork) then when you come back to the UK you have to land at a major(ish) airport to clear customs there, but that doesnt stop you dropping anything over the side in between ;-), depending on what airport you land at you will either "clear customs" in the same manner as when you left whatever country it was or occasionally you will have a sniffer dog or customs officer come out an have a half arsed look around/inside the craft before walking off bored.

p.s. the only ppl that pull planes over in the air are the RAF(eurofighter typhoon or tornado) and like it or not if they want you to divert or land thats exactly what you will be doing, there was a bloke (in 2008) at an airfield near the one we fly from that decided to disobey them for a laugh thinking they wouldnt do anything because it a UK registered aircraft an coz of the human rights act etc, his plane is still sitting in the hanger at his airfield riddled with 30mm cannon holes from the "warning shot", he sustained shrapnel injuries over his whole upper body and died 8months later from "complications resulting from his injuries", whole story has been hushed up an is the subject of one of these "super-injunctions" that have featured in the papers quite recently
how much them things cost fuck the licence i wouldnt use an airport lol

Now i'm confused (still slightly confused from FaF :D bubble hash wheyyyyyyy). This guy i know, he travels international and still departs and lands at his random little field in the middle of nowhere, and from what he said, he said it was all done legally, no mention of any officlas or anything, he basically said that so long as he invaded no restricted air spaces such as cities and airpots, he did whatever he wanted, i'll be the first to admi that struck me as rather odd and "free" but that was his claim, and he is one of the more down to earth epople you'll meet. Time to get a reading. Thinking about things logically, you'd think there wouldn't be a law mandating you declare your flight to customs, unless things have changed since i last sailed where you set off, you pointed in a direction and wow, what do you know, france. Knowing the world i'm probably totally wrong and everything's changed since then haha.

If a typhoon etc were to do that to me, i'd just stick my nose towards the nearest settlement and get circling. For some reason everyone looks up when microlights fly around overhead at low altitude. Fucked up that they can pull that off though. What's the radar ceiling these days? :D part of my thing these days is that we're really quite a lot safer than we think, from what i've seen, all authorities, military you name it, are beginning to get very careful about what they do in public view thanks to the abundance of personal video equiptment. could you imagine what would happen if you got yourself a video of an RAF typhoon opening fire on you, you'd be set for life the number of youtube hits that would earn! :lol:

£500-30k for the hanglider type, £6k-150k for the proper plane type
Anyone else the type of mentality that sits there and thinks fuck that, i want to build my own from scratch. I seem to have an obsession of late of creating my own car. Like fuck it would be "road worhty" so far as authorities are concerened, but fuck if it's not a simple thing to do, well not simple, but hardly rocket science.

some countries within the EU allow you to clear customs over the phone believe it or not lol, or with a fax/email.
If you are going outside of the borders of a country you have to file a flight plan by law.
It used to be a lot more relaxed an even upto a cpl of years ago you could quite easily fly to say `dam n back without notifying anyone
and just going an doing it without getting caught, but since 9/11.............lol

Radar ceiling doesnt matter, if they can see you they can kill you lol

Haha, sounds like this chap is just living in blissful ignorance :D right up until he get's a whiff of a few thousand pounds of fiery thrust :D

Idea of radar ceiling is that well, i rekon harder to be caught, they're largely relying on a member of the public, or even authorities, to see the plane and think it's not legally airbourne or unsafe etc and phone up someone and the message works it's way up, if their radars can't see you and noone's specifically looking for you, teeeeeheeeee. What can i say, i'm fed up to fuck with this world, it's utterly and totally fucked. Getting to the stage where i wanna set myself on fire like the monk in protest :lol: i love the change in events in libya, coalition could get fucked over by it, but other than that, fuck being a part of this society and the way it works, i want to dissapear, but if i do, there will be missing person posters on every sign post, the plice will hunt me down using every clue they can get, leave me the fook alone and let me live. If i want to get in a boat and adventure, no, you'll be searched by customs going out, searched by customs landing at your shore of adventure, and unless you ave the right documents you'll be locked up. WTF!!!!!! Imagine their reaction if someone set about getting to the moon as a private party, non governemnt funded. "terrible tragedy!"

Alcohol makes me rant and chat how i feel the bollocks that it is, please just ignore me from now until tomorrow or well, might just be good to ignore me :D and smokking less won't buy me a car, i'm the crazy type, i'll give it to my friends and family (well 1 brother, rest of the family are fuckers!) before i sell it for profit.

Missing the joke on that one but i'm me hahaha, no sister, just a couple of brothers, one's semi acceptable, the others a bit of a nob, hacn't seen or spoken to him in a year odd now :D I don't want to build a car for any sort of conforming to stanrdards, in the same way i odn't want to explore but conform to standards, i just want to do it for my self for my own curiosity. I think i could and would love to fabricate a car of some design, just for the experience.

it aint the ceiling you want its the floor lol, microlights barely show up on radar as there is very little metal in them, combine that with radar being mostly ineffective below 100ft above sea level and your closer to a good idea lol
