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...

Theres nothing in the rules limiting the number of repairmans certs issued
per project.
ASK THE DAR to give you BOTH the ticked after you show him all the work YOU
BOTH
DID TOGETHER. It has to be fairly well documented however........
There is a correlation with how much work go's into the project and on
complex
laborious builds, partners can both meet the "implied" experience
requirements.
On an quickbuild RV's, I'm suprised you can even get a reparimans cert, the
skillsets, knowlege acquired seem to be pretty limited. If you shake the
box long
enough it falls out built..........

From Advisory Circular 65-23A, "CERTIFICATION OF REPAIRMEN (EXPERIMENTAL
AIRCRAFT BUILDERS)":

"6 ELIGIBILITY. An individual desiring to be certificated as a repairman is
required to:
.....
c. Be 18 years of age or older, and the primary builder of the aircraft.
For example, when a school, club, or partnership builds an aircraft, only one
individual will be considered for a repairman certificate for each aircraft
built...."

Seems pretty definite to me.
