In practice, that is true. It's kind of hard to police exactly who did how much. An acquaintance out at the airport has a Lancair 4P. I don't think he did anything more than help choose the color of the paint and supply large buckets of $$, but he has the maintenance cert.

According to the EAA, there is no build percentage required for the repairman certificate: <http://members.eaa.org/home/homebuilders/faq/How to get your Repairman Certificate.html#TopOfPage> "*I am thinking about buying a 95% complete project from another builder, will I be able to get a Repairman Certificate?* The only person who is eligible for the repairman certificate for an amateur-built aircraft is the "primary builder". However, there is no official FAA definition of "primary builder" so it will be up to the FAA inspector who accepts your application to determine if you meet the requirement or not." "*What does "primary builder" mean?* FAA does not define this term. EAA considers the primary builder to the person who's signature is on Form 8130-6, block III attesting to the airworthiness of the amateur built aircraft." fyi -Dj -- Dj Merrill - N1JOV Glastar Sportsman 2+2 Builder #7118 N421DJ KR-2 Builder N770DJ http://deej.net/sportsman/ http://deej.net/kr-2/ "Many things that are unexplainable happen during the construction of an airplane." --Dave Prizio, 30 Aug 2005 _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to [email protected] please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html ____________________________________________________________ We bet you'll have fun at these great online poker sites!
