Default Professionally built?

All amateur builders are considered "manufacturers" in the eyes of the
FAA. That's why there's never been an AD on a Van's RV-4 built by
someone other than Van...they are registered as Nelson RV-4, Smith RV-4,
etc. (glad I don't have a common name like Nelson or Smith!!)

The word "professionally" can be pretty vague. When I build my second
RV-4, I will sell it in Trade A Plane as "Professionally Built" since
I will be a "pro" at it having built one previously.

Actualy, (in the olde days) that would diswualify you from being able
to license or sell the second one.

It makes you a "manufacturer".
