Default Building my first plane from scratch.....HELP!!!

ok just so i dont really live upto my screen name, here's the scoop, i already own a duraplane trainer ARF thats powered by an O.S. .25 you better believe im gonna fly (and destroy) the trainer first before i take my scratchbuilt plane out for a spin, ok now that i have that out of the way,

the specs on the scratch built, anyway i guess you could say it looks like a cessna, but it has a 48" wingspan, the fuselage is 36" long, the stabilizer is 15" long and the fin, vertical stab or what ever you want to call it is 9" long, the estimated flight weight is going to be somewhere between 5 and 6 lbs. so ill probably put a .46 on it. I weighed the materials when i bought them so thats how i estimated it, anyway ill take some pics of what i have so far and try to put them up, thanks for any help you can give
