What is a "Pro Built"? I would take it to mean that an experimental

builder, am I a "novice" when I complete it? Will I turn pro after I
finish a second one? 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%.

"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.

Wouldn't you love to see the RV-6 as a certified airplane!

Sure. It would cost $300K though.
