Nope. You have to be listed on the paperwork as the primary builder of
an aircraft registered with the FAA to get your "Repairman's
Certificate", and that certificate only applies to the airplane you
built. You apply for the certificate at the same time you apply for
the airworthiness certificate for the airplane you built.

One of those "details" I was eluding to... Thanks for the clarification...
