Hi Ed,
I would amend your statement to read "certificate is issued to (one
of) the original builder(s)". If Dave completes the aircraft, he
becomes one of the original builders and is allowed to apply for the
airworthiness certificate, and also for the Repairman certificate. To
be granted the Repairman certificate, he has to pass an "interview" with
the FAA inspector basically showing that he can maintain the airplane in
a safe manner. The EAA has information concerning this on their website.
