You should have no problem getting it certified, if it passes inspection, but you would not be able to obtain the "mechanics license" for that airplane unless you completed the majority of the construction. You can still perform all required maintenance but will need someone with at least an A&P license to perform / sign off the annual. I would not recommend your trying to convince the Fed's that you built the airplane just to obtain the "mechanics license". If they find out differently they won't treat you kindly. Larry Flesner
