Man trying to manufacture planes in India

Airplanes are for the most part assembled by hand. It makes enormous sense for them to be assembled in places like India, where skilled labor can be had of pennies on the dollar. Want your $50,000 new airplane? Build it in a place with an inexpensive labor market. Sounds like the India bureaucracy is doing its best to nix this, so American airplane manufacturers are safe for now.
 
What about inexpensive labor with a history in the field like the Philippines?
 
I'll bet the cockpit lighting is a bulb hanging off the ceiling from a pair of bare wires.
 
Well, at least India is already doing a great job copying our shoddy reporters over here:

"In 2014, the regulator changed the rules under which amateurs can build planes. The new rules allow only planes manufactured by companies to fly."

Huh?
 
Not the faa. Indian regulators.
 
Quality (and QC) has been an issue in southwest Asian manufacturing. Not satying they can't get it right, but they'd need to instill that in the company's workforce - they won't be bringing it with them.
