Construction
Hello everyone,
I'm new to RCUniverse and was wondering if anyone could help me with my dilemma. I want to construct two aircraft of personal design - 1. reflecting my admiration of the F-22 and F-14 synthesized together and one designed to outperform the Russian SU-27. Any tips would be highly appreciated for i have no clue how to start my actual models, which i intend to be R/C. I have tried and struggled and wound up failing trying to begin construction without any guidelines. Once again i'd appreciate any tips you all can provide. Thank You.
P.S.
Heres a few pics of what i want to do.

First I would say check out these sites:
http://www.nextcraft.com
http://www.airfieldmodels.com
Then you can do as I am learn to use a cad system. Or like we did in the old days draw the airplane out in 3 views and start to make your sectional views from that so you can shape the formers for your fuselage.

RE: Construction
Thanks for the insight. Ive tried using GMAX just so i could play with my planes in FSX or FS9 but found it difficult to shape the ,models to their exact dimensions.
