Hi,
I have visited and read of the model that you have-it is from the 'Will Hobby',a Chinese facility. Several posts have advised you that this model is inappropriate for a relatively inexperienced person. That being said, let me see if I can help you.
You mention the need for dimensions because of 'wheels and such'. You also refer to 'a blue print'. Since this is an ARF, you really won't build, just assemble. The installations are pre-located for you already, so
dimensions aren't needed. For your wheels, I suspect that there are grooves on the underside of the wings,
under the covering. These grooves must be uncovered and the landing gear legs fitted into them-the blue print should illustrate these steps. There must also be small plastic tabs which fit over the landing gear wire and are screwed into the wing-also should be shown in the blue print.
It is a bit like a jig-saw puzzle, in that you fit each piece into the assembly. Wasn't there a manual that came along in the kit?
If at all possible, do try to get some help from a friend/someone who has assembeled ARFs.
Good luck, I'll help as much as I remotely can.
