Re: Design your own fighter
Manish_P Saar, While this is a good story to tell and root for, there is still a long way to go. It is "still" a model with some hovering capacity. He will need to get an engine and required weights to take off and fly safely and a whole hog of tests later to follow ... I know that well, ...

Chetak ji,
Notice how they have cleverly used the word 'common law' (which has some negative connotations) instead of 'law of equality'
From google - The simplest definition for common law is that it's a “body of law” based on court decisions rather than codes or statutes.
