The thing is you will need a couple of planes (steps if you will) before you will be ready to fly a plane like that.
Secondly, Plans like Zeroli for example, are ver sparse in instructions, these are ususally built buy experienced builders that have a good idea of what should go where.
You may have to bite the bullet and drive that 30 miles to get instruction and learn to fly for beginners.
You may find that some of the club members may just live around the corner from you and would be happy to help you with a build.
I would build a kit from one of the major manufacturers, they have good instructions and will give you some experience. SIG, Great Planes, Lanier, Midwest are a few of the good ones.
