If you buy an I'm finished project, can you still get a repairman cert for
the plane or are they strictly only granting the cert to the original
builder? Also does it make a difference if the project already has an "N"
number?

Is anyone interested in finishing my fathers KR2 that lives fairly close to the
Kansas city area??
There are too many features to list but suffice it to say it is fabulous &
workmanship is superb & always kept dry. Dad was a aeronautical engineer and
spend his career contracting with the likes of Boeing, McDonnell Douglas,
General Dynamics, NASA, the US govt & others...Simply put, He knew what he was
doing!
It is 75% done with 75% left to go :)
All fabrication is done including wings. All major items have been purchased
including engine (VW 1835 turbo w/ dual ignition, ceramic coated, balanced &
dyno'ed,) Instruments are bought too. Interior & paint is all that is left to
buy. The assembly & finish is what is left. It is a tricycle retract with very
low weight pneumatic cylinders. Also dual axis electric trim & split flaps.
HERES THE DEAL: I do not want any money, just finish it & fly it. All I want
out of this is the opportunity to fly it when I'm in a position to do so & to
live close enough to KC where that is a reasonable option.
Depending on your motivation, in months...not years...your livin the dream! If
someone has their act together & gets going, you even have a shot at getting an
anniversary plaque at the gathering!
It doesn't get much better than this guys. My contact info is below. I need to
know if someone is interested fairly soon. Also, Im planning on going to the
gathering myself. I would love to take pictures of it doing a "Langford slip
landing" there :)
Thanks for your consideration.

You have to prove that you built at least 51% of the plane to get the cert.

Phill,
I assume you mean "unfinished" instead of "I'm finished". If you can
convince the FAA that you built at least 51%, you have a good shot at
getting the repairman cert. for the plane. Don't give up if the first FSDO
office you go to turns you down. We shouldn't have to shop around, but
they HAVE been known to differ in interpretations of the regulations.

Actually this is a misnomer - the regs state that at least 51% of the
aircraft must be amateur built (AB). That 51% can be built my numerous hands
and that's why the FAA published the Advisory Circular 20-27G in 2009 which
includes a checklist for determining what was AB built and what was
commercially built. I did some investigating on this last year and touched
based with the local FSDO and they said they would use that checklist to
help determine (1) if it could be licensed as an AB and (2) help them to
make a determination if a repairman's certificate can be issued. I think if
you bought a 90% or better project you could still obtain a repair
certificate, if one hasn't been issued and if you can convince the FSDO that
you know enough about the structure and operating systems to determine if is
in a condition for safe flight. I think a good approach is to develop a
checklist of the items you plan on checking when you do your annual and
present it to the FAA for review and comment.
A repair certificate is nice to have but a lack of one is not a show
stopper. Any A&P can sign off the annual condition inspection - I think
after the A&P looks over your shoulder while you are performing the
inspection and you satisfy him he won't have a problem signing your logbook.

Lots of people get N numbers before they finish a project. Not a major issue
but you'll need photos and builders log showing what you did to finish the
project to confirm the 51%.. You might want to talk to your FSDO before buying
it and possibly show them what stage the build is now..

The KR2S project that I recently purchased is set up as conventional
gear using the Diehl main gear. The fuselage is still in the boat
stage and nothing has been done with the stub wings yet. Just Spars
sticking out on both sides of the fuselage. My question is, how
difficult would it be for me to convert this to a tail dragger? Could
I just flip the current landing gear legs around and re install them
on the leading edge of the front spar and just remove the nose gear. I
would like to use the stub wings for fuel tanks and like the looks of
the tail wheel set up.
Any opinions or advice would be appreciated.
thanks

Yeah, that's the way I read it but I wasn't sure if it was just me or not :)
You know what they say, the right way, the wrong way and the FAA way.
I was more concerned with buying an unfinished hand built project than one
containing a bunch of premade components or prefab parts, since I'm looking
for one to take over myself. Just trying to find some answers to some of
my questions ahead of time. I gotta wrap my head around the process etc in

True, just would be nice not to have the added level of complexity, I don't

"complexity" is the word I was looking for but that's what came out of the

Phil,
Lots of folks aren't going to agree with this statement, but you do NOT have
to convince the FAA that you built 51% of the plane. The plane has to be 51%
amateur built to qualify as an Amateur Built Experimental Aircraft. Doesn't
matter whether it was you or someone else that built it as long as it was 51%
amateur built.
Quoted directly from the FAA Web site: "You may obtain a repairman certificate
for your own amateur-built aircraft if you built the major portion of the
aircraft." Note the lack of any specific percentage of construction.
Most people tend to interpret the "Major Portion" statement by painting it
with the same broad brush as the 51% Amateur Built Airworthiness Rule. They are
not the same. Getting the Airworthiness Inspection and getting the Repairman
Certificate are two related, but completely separate events, although the FSDO
may want a statement or recommendation from the DAR since he is the one that
just spent a couple of hours with you and the plane.
You have to convince the FAA that you participated in the majority of the
tasks of building the plane. So, the question is how do you do that? First off,
you need to have some photos of you working on the unfinished plane. Anymore,
without photographic evidence of you working on an unfinished aircraft, you are
not likely to receive the Repairman Certificate. Additionally, you need to
convince the DAR that you were involved in enough of the construction that you
know the plane well enough to do the inspections and maintenance on the
aircraft. The local FSDO will likely want a letter from the DAR stating that it
is his opinion that the your were involved in the majority of the work. Another
clear distinction is that the local FSDO, not the DAR, is the agency that will
make the recommendation to the FAA in Oklahoma City that they issue you a
Repairman Certificate. It's really all about you convincing the DAR and FSDO
that you are knowledgeable enough to inspect and maintain the aircraft so it
can be operated safely.
That's the way the "three weeks to taxi" outfits work. You drill, deburr, and
fit a hole on a panel, then a team does the rest of the panel while you move on
to the next task. You drive a rivet on that panel, then a team of people drive
the rest while you once again move on towards the next task. However, you are
involved in the majority of the tasks necessary to build that plane. 3 weeks of
14 hour days later, you have an aircraft that is ready or close to ready for
taxi that you can take home and finish. You will also get the Repaiman
Certificate since you were involved in the majority of the tasks.
Another method that is used when you want an aircraft built for you is a
partnership. You form a partnership with a build shop. They build the plane.
Anyone in the partnership can be designated as the one to recieve the
repairman's certificate. As long as you were involved enough to demonstrate
significant knowledge, the FAA will grant you the reapirman's certificate. I
personally know where this was done with an acquaintance that had a Lancair
IV-P built. However, this is the type of operation that has caused much closer
scrutiny of the Amateur Built rules and is causing all of us to show move proof
of our work.
I have personally bought and finished 3 Amateur Built project planes, the last
one being my SuperCub clone completed in June. I was issued the Repairman
Certificate for the first two. I could have had the third as well, but since I
now have my A&P license, I didn't see the point in jumping through the hoops
for the FAA. Having been through this a few times, I can tell you that when you
apply for the Repairman Certificate, it is completely up to whoever you get at
FSDO as to how it will be handled. The first was a snap. I called the local
FSDO and talked to an agent, filled out the papers, mailed it to the agent at
FSDO, then the certificate showed up in the mail. The next time, I happened to
get one of those bad apples that makes the FAA famous. He was going to make me
play his game. I filled out the application exactly the same, which he rejected
out of hand. I was forced to provide information completely unrelated to
aircraft or aviation to satisfy this charactor before he would forward a
recommendation to OK City to issue the Repairman Certificate.
So, now we have this nebulous question about "What constitutes the "Majority"
of the build tasks?" The FAA has a checklist you can go through to determine
whether the plane is 51% amateur built. (It is in AC 20-27G, Appendix 8, form
8000-38.) You could run through this form to see how close you may or may not
be. The answer may surprise you. However, the "Majority" of tasks is really a
bit more nebulous and FSDO has the latitude to interpret it as they see fit. It
really comes down to you convincing the DAR and the FSDO representative you
talk to on the phone that you built some of the plane, and that you know it
well enough to maintain it properly.

Phill,
If one of the main reasons for buying the plane is to be able to do your own
annual inspection, I would contact a FSDO before you plunk the money down.
According to the Advisory circular Rick refers to, you will need to convince
the FAA that you are the "primary builder" before being issued a repairman
certificate. "Primary builder" is about as vague as saying "51%". This
allows the FAA to interpret as they see fit.

What the FAA Inspector had me do on my first KR, a project which I purchased
and finished, was to get a letter from the buyer saying that I had done at
least 51 percent of the building on it. I think this is in line with what
Jeff stated, but you can never tell what the FAA will do, especially in
light of the not-to-distant flack over the 51% rule.

Thanks for all the input.
Having the repairman's certificate is not essential for me, just would be
nice to have. I was wanting information about how it worked in the "real
world". There are a lot of theories, that's for sure.
I guess I'll call them up and get their take on it.

The one thing you don't want to do is buy a completed project and
then try to convince the "FAA you built it. I once heard a DAR or
FAA rep say someone tried that on them and they were going to "throw
the book" at the guy. Check with your local FSDO and play it
honest. The price of getting busted would not be worth the
cost. Play it straight and they will probably work with you, unless
you get one of those "bad apples" that Jeff talked about.
