Here is a good place to go if you do not have hard copies of the FAA publications that deal with amateur-built aircraft. Below is the address and the list of the pubs and forms you can read and print online.

http://av-info.faa.gov/dst/amateur/

Publications:
  • AC20-27E, Certification and Operation of Amateur-Built Aircraft.
  • AC20-139, Commercial Assistance During Construction of Amateur-Built Aircraft.
  • AC21-12B Application for U.S. Airworthiness Certificate.
  • AC90-89A, Amateur-Built Aircraft & Ultralight Flight Testing Handbook.
  • AC65-23A, Certification of Repairpersons (Experimental Aircraft Builders).
  • AC39-7C, Airworthiness Directives - I think there must be a blurb on Amateur-built aircraft in there.
  • AC103-7 The Ultralight Vehicle.
  • FAA Order 8130.2E Airworthiness Certification of Aircraft and Related Products dated 1/23/03 establishes procedures for accomplishing original and recurrent airworthiness certification of aircraft and related products, including amateur-built aircraft.

Forms you can print out:
  • AC Form 8050-88 (PDF) Affidavit of Ownership.
  • FAA Form 8130-12 (MS Word) Eligibility Statement: Amateur-Built Aircraft.
  • FAA Form 8130-12 (PDF) Eligibility Statement: Amateur-Built Aircraft.
  • FAA Form 8130-6 (PDF) Application for Airworthiness Certificate or, electronically completeable word version.

Hope someone can get some use out of it.
