Re: Professionally built?

All amateur builders are considered "manufacturers" in the eyes of the FAA. That's why there's never been an AD on a Van's RV-4 built by someone other than Van...they are registered as Nelson RV-4, Smith RV-4, etc. (glad I don't have a common name like Nelson or Smith!!) ;)

The word "professionally" can be pretty vague. When I build my second RV-4, I will sell it in Trade A Plane as "Professionally Built" since I will be a "pro" at it having built one previously.

Actualy, (in the olde days) that would diswualify you from being able
to license or sell the second one.

It makes you a "manufacturer".
