I'd tend to say that an airplane built by Joe Blow for somebody else is still amateur built, but the owner who applies for the repairman certificate should not be able to get it if they themselves did not build 51%. Scott "pro built" in my message means that you pay someone to build it. Why should this not be allowed? This is a free country, maybe... Certainly! And that's why the Experimental-Exhibition category exists. The Experimental Amateur-Built category is specifically for those who build aircraft for education or recreation. If someone wants to build a plane for money, let them get them certified in one of the other five Experimental categories. Heck, there are over 5,000 planes certified as Experimental Exhibition, it's not like it's new territory. Ron Wanttaja |
