Well, yes, but...........I subscribe to the wisdom of my venerable father-in-law who was good with money. He claimed that it isn't the capital amount that matters nearly so much as the regular income or outgoings.
So ignoring the £100k for the moment by pretending that a rich person has simply gifted me that amount, what concerns me is the cost of running and maintaining such an aircraft. My pension simply won't stretch to the costs associated with an EASA permit, but I could manage the likely costs incurred under a BMAA permit.
Having already built a fibreglass aircraft and done much maintenance over many years, I know that I can keep costs down to a sane level.
