Hi All, 
I'm very new to this type of intetactive comminication, so I hope I didn't screw anything up.
I'm a retired commercial airline A&P, but I cut my teeth on recips. I soloed in '88, but like so many others, didn't get to finish (pressures with a growing family).
I'm now contemplating getting back into the saddle again. I've always had a dream to build a WW-I type of bipe like an RAF se5a. I would like to scale it so it would be legal as an experimental light sport.
The problem is I'm so far behind the power curve on this, I really don't know where to begin as far as all the requirements with the FAA. I know the EAA has always been the "go to" resource, but I'm finding it really difficult to find out what I need to do on their website as they have so many layers to sift through. I know I'll probably be dealing with a DAR and need keep builders logs and the like.
Has anyone packaged a really complete "paperwork kit" of everything that needs to be done in the correct order? I guess I really kind of need some sort of a Building Your First Experimental Airplane for Dummies guide book. Any help greatly appreciated.
