Default RE: Beginner guide to making rc scale plans

Ive built some kits, proper kits not the ARTF stuff.

I'd really like to do my own Sukhoi one day. I always thought that there was a way to draw up formers (wings, tailplanes rudders. I know how to do, that just a case of the outline then selecting an approriate airfoil etc)

Its just the fuselage that gets me, using a 3 view of a fuselage, how would one make up the formers? I know some views also come with cross sections of the fuselage at various intervals. But how to come up with all the fuselage formers using these is something which is very much a black art to me.

Once I got all the formers sorted, hence the actual fuselage. I know exactly how I want to join up them formers, Its just a matter of getting those formers!
