I searched controller.com for lancair and found an entry that says

have to build the entire thing themself but I thought it still had to
be an amateur undertaking. How does this pass muster with the FAA?
The words PROFESSIONAL and AMATEUR are not mutually exclusive.
Get a dictionary.

It's strange how the word Amateur has been misused to the point where
people think of it as beginners or unskilled. IIRC it's derived from
Latin and means, generally one who does something for the love of
doing it, or they enjoy what they are doing.

No need for Latin, some knowledge of French is enough.
"Amateur" == whoever acts by "amour" i.e. "love".
Indeed "I love to be sysadmin" is not exclusive with
"I earn my living as a sysadmin", as can be seen in my own life.

But the words ARE exclusive when we compare
"I build a plane with the FIRST PURPOSE of gaining money"
versus
"I build a plane MAINLY because I love to".

No need for Latin perhaps, but the French, Spanish, Italian and some related
English words have their roots in the Latin verb for love, amo.

ANd yes, after fifty years without speaking it, I can still do first
declension conjugation:

amo
amas
amat
amamus
amatis
amant

If I recall correctly you decline an adjective and conjugate a verb.

Yes, that seems to confirm here.
And not only adjectives are declined, subjectives too:
"quae voluptis quae voluptis est amarem
dolcam filiam pastoris"
Both the adjective "dolcam" and the subject "filiam"
take the "-am" extension.
I seem to remember that Baltic and Slavonic go even further
and even decline proper nouns - but I don't have an example handy.

But where previous poster wrote
"I can still do first declension conjugation"
it seems there is confusion with the three kinds
of verbs in Latin, "amarem" being of the first category.

But do let's allow: we're really wide off topic now...

A fellow grew up on the east coast where scrod, the fish dish, is considered
quite a delicacy. His company posted him to the west coast, where that
particular fish is not found. Getting back to the east coast, he got off
the plane (obligatory aviation content) at JFK and hopped a cab for
downtown. His first question to the cabby was if the cabby knew where he
could get scrod in New York.

The cabby answered, "Buddy, I've hoid dat question ten t'ousand times but
that's the FOIST time I ever hoid it in de plupoifect subjunctive."

Must be the same cabby that met his wife at the airport on her return
from an extended visit to Chicago and the first words she said were,
"Hi, honey, were you blue while I was gone?"
