I've been reading some of the FAA documents and am sort of confused about
something.

I don't see any requirements for a pilots license when applying for
registration and such for a homebuilt. is it implied that you already have
a license or is none required?

I see talk about reserving your N number then getting inspected, then
getting your 25 (or 40) hour permission.

note: I am talking about what's required, not what is heavily recommended.
ok, I gave a lot of you the incorrect questions.

lets see if this makes more sense.

in the following documents

AC 20-27E
AC 20-139
AC 21-12B
AC 39-7C
AC 65-23A
AC 90-89A
AC 103-7

Which I picked up at the FAA booth at Oshkosh, bound together as the
"Amateur Built Aircraft Reference Manual". I could not find the Pilot
licensing requirements. can someone point them out to me?

I keep reading through them, but cannot find anywhere that states that a
certified pilot is needed to fly the aircraft. maybe I am looking in the
wrong set of documents.

like I said above, I am talking about what's required, not what is heavily
recommended.
