1: I have a 2 car garage but no work tables, should I build one or buy one and how big should it be?
2: The plane might cost $30K to build but that about everything else? tools, sport pilot license, registering my aircraft etc.....
3: Will I be able to do all of my own maintenance and inspections?
4: How much red tape is there flying a LSA? I want to feel a free as possible!

That leads me to a couple more questions!
I have no formal flight training, just what I could get tagging along with pilots at my local airport when I was younger which would only add up to a couple of hours. I am anxious to get in the air (I know it will be a few years to build the Sonex) and I could go ahead and get my sport pilot license but then I will need a refresher before I try to fly my aircraft once it is done. would it be better to wait until I am almost finished with my build before I get my sport pilots license?
Also, at what point in the build should start worrying about all the legal stuff like getting your airworthiness inspections and reserving your N number?
Thanks again guys, can't wait to start!
