First off a big thanks and I think I've searched but haven't found the answer.

I split my time between Colombia and the US. More of it is spent in Colombia.
I've got the space / tools and I'd rather build down there.

There's a few downsides that are incredibly clear:

1) Shipping kit / parts / new tools
2) Import taxes (really high)
3) Registering the aircraft. This is the only real unknown I have.

I'm worried the FAA might not certify the aircraft if I build it down there. I'm also worried about the Colombia side but I'm looking in to it.
My assumption at this point is that it's not even worth it. I didn't list the pros to doing it in the US (Texas) but they're obvious.

Thoughts?
