The 51% rule says that the majority of the tasks (not the majority of the
work) must be done by amateurs for education. Either 1000 rivets or 10 rivets
could be considered a single task.
The primary builder must simply be one of the amateurs who built it. The
primary builder *does not* have to do 51% of the work!!! So, you can buy
a partially completed kit and finish it and still get the repair certificate.
