There are lots of finished and unfinished kits available.

You can buy one someone else built.

The point is to get the benefits, such as qualify for the repairman
certificate, you have to have done the majority of the work yourself.

WRONG (again). There can be multiple people involved, as I stated,
such as the person whom you bought it from.

"What if you bought the project from a previous owner who never
finished it?
It does not matter how many previous owners a project may have had -
as long as each owner intended to build the aircraft for their own
education or recreation - if you can document or show documentation of
the work that each did, it is as if YOU did the work!"

Correct as far as registration goes, but to get the repairman certificate,
you have to show you were the primary builder and you know enough to keep
the thing airworthy.

That gets you the repairman certificate, which authorizes you to do the
annual condition inspections yourself.

None of this has anything to do with LSA's.

None of this changes the fact that if you, as you said you planned to do,
swap props for more performance on an aircraft flown under LSA rules:

If the aircraft is a LSA, you invalidate the airworthiness certificate, and
the airplane is now little more than scrap.

If the aircraft is certified, it can never again be flown as a LSA.
