However, to perform the annual condition inspection, you must either possess a

What really sucks is that only one person can qualify for that. If two
people build the airplane, they have to decide who gets the certificate.

I'm particularly upset by this, because I worked right alongside my dad
when we were building our RV, and I know how it's put together about as
well as he does. And then, I end up doing half the annual anyways.
Should I ever end up getting the airplane, I wouldn't be able to do the
annuals on it, and would either have to hire an A&P (ie, $$$$) or fly it
back to his place once a year and have him sign it off. Oh well, guess
I'll have to wait a few more years till I can afford to build one myself...
