Repairment Cert. Question

I have some confusion about the repairmen certificate. I thought you could only get it if you build the aircraft yourself, which would mean either an E-LSA, or an Experimental aircraft. However, I'm hearing that you can get a cert. for LSAs that you didn't build yourself, like a SportCruiser or the SportStar.

Can anyone please clear this up?

NCP:

This is such a thorough, accurate summary of the privileges associated with these different classes of a/c, that I'd encourage you to hang onto it:

The portion that answers your Q can be found near the end, starting with:
"Maintenance rules are identical in either case" and goes for two paragraphs.

Note also Joe's summary of 'pros & cons'. I believe this was written perhaps 5 years ago (despite the copyright tag) but to my knowledge it all remains accurate.
