Which airplane?

Velocity, Cozy or Van.

Then the designer should get them certified!

You can still buy one already built, though..

C'mon Bertie, a kit/plan guy can't afford certification (assuming it
is
politically reasonable that he could).


Exactly. The history of aviation is littered with disasters of
airplanes. You can't take something drawn on the back of a napkin and
just start selling them without some sort of test program. Dertification
lays that program out. If you buy a ready made airplane it's supposed to
meet certain criteria. You want a kitplane, build it yourself or buy one
second hand. THey are two different things..
