Contact your local FSDO. They should be able to print a copy out for you.

I think you can just do it on line. Cost is around $15 if I remember right. They will send you a CD with all of the info for that plane on it. Its been a while, sorry if my info is not 100%. Talking to the local FSDO will get you headed in the right direction. It is painless.

But until you get them, the airplane is not legal to fly. And you may have to work with the FSDO where the builder got the airworthiness certificate to get the operating limitations if the papers that were supposed to be in the aircraft disappeared.

A quick check of SPAS by any Inspector at any office should have the information at hand.

Like that old joke about the maintenance log entries:

Write-up: Lost #3 engine on return after 3 hours of flight.
Sign-off: Found #3 engine on right wing after 3 seconds of search.

My experimental has no operating limitations, yet. But as I fly it, and push the envelope a little, the limits will become clear, and noted. Then I'll take those notes, and come up with a list of operating limitations.

The FAA is going to give you an initial set of operating limitations before you make your first legal flight. Those will change as you complete the phases of the initial fly-off period, but you will have them before you get your airworthiness certificate -- it's part of the E-AB airworthiness certification process.
