If you complete the rest of the kit yourself, even a quickbuild, you won't jeopardize your 51% status by purchasing a finished (or less) empennage. The key is that you be able to sign the affidavit affirming your "major portion" of the construction.

From: "Greg Young" --> RV-List message posted by: "Greg Young" No, don't confuse the requirements for the Repairman Certificate with the requirements for the Airworthiness Certificate. The 51% rule applies only to the Airworthiness Certificate and is a requirement to certify the airplane in the Experimental category. It doesn't require that any one person does the 51% - only that 51% be "amateur" built. If the aircraft doesn't meet the 51% rule it would have to get certified (or not at all) under one of the other Experimental categories such as Exhibition, R&D, Market Survey, Crew Training, etc. which all have more onerous operating limitations. The Repairman Certificate requires convincing the FSDO inspector (last I heard DAR's could not issue it) that you participated in the building of the airccraft "enough" to maintain it. One member of a group build can get it so there obviously is no special amount of participation required. Locally, it seems the inspector wants to see enough logs and pictures so he can BS for half a day and not do other work.

Just keep a builder's log as you go from here. There are even people that get semi-finished kits much further along than the empenage and they qualify for their Repairman's certificate.

Acquired an RV6 tail kit with only the spar completed, built the complete airplane from Van's standard kits and have the Repairman's Certificate. I had a detailed construction logbook, a pretty complete photo album, all receipts, my newly obtained airworthiness certificate, registration, and my Letter of Operating Limitations and a completed application for the Repairman Certificate all for the FSDO's examination. I had all the paperwork from the aircraft along but the DAR will tell you what you need when you apply to certify your airplane. The FAA FSDO person only casually looked at the picture album but did look for pictures with me in them along with the project, checked the paperwork the DAR had given me (airworthiness, registration, limitations, etc.) and my pilots license. The certification papers were copied as well as my pilot's license. He then gave me a temporary Repairman Certificate on the spot with the actual certificate arriving about a month later. It never occurred to me to mentioned that I had acquired a partially started kit and I don't believe it would make a difference if I would have. The whole thing took no more than 20 minutes at most.
