Default NEED HELP!!! Scratch-building a V-22 Osprey

v22 (or anybody else that might know),

I've been looking around on the web for cross-sections and larger 3-line drawings of the aircraft. I can't seem to find any sources for these more detailed things, just general drawings. Are there any good sites out there with these things?

In case anybody is interested check out http://www.usni.org/freestuff/v22osprey_datafile.htm All you have to do is register (free) - just type in name and e-mail and you can download a FREE V-22 program. Is has some specs and a 3-D osprey, pictures, and some more info. Go to the bottom of the page and click "register now" or something like that.

Another thing that I am curious about is the airfoil. What airfoil does the real one use? I'm thinking that the model probably would have to have a high lift glider type airfoil because the wing is so small. I mean tiny! The fuse is longer than the wingspan. It must have a horrible wing loading. Would it be wise to use a scale wing size?
