Aaaaa! theres a hole in my fuselage side. Right under the wing is a hole that is about the size of a Rx. How should I fix that?

Well if there is framework nearby, the best thing to do would be to cut the wood out all the way to the framing and then replace it with new sheeting. If no framing, cut the hole into the shape of a square (because a square is easy to work with), cut a piece of sheeting to fit snug and glue in place. If the structural integrity will be compromised by this damage, then back up the joints with another piece. If you do not need the extra stregnth, then fill the hole and leave it.
