Hey blackhawk, it can be done, I finished my omp 540 2 weeks ago. All you need to do is get the wood and frame up the fuse twice, and use wood that is half the thickness, then starting from the tail put the 2 halfs together (making it as wide as the profile) and start widening it up towards the front to your desired width. Add supports just like a REAL fuse as needed then sheet it.

Sounds like you like to build, I'm a kit basher as well but only in the winter. My 540 hovers perfectly for a whole tank if I choose, but I've been spending lots of time learning more difficult 3D manuvers, like knife edge elevators, wall to waterfall to pinwheel to flatpins, inverted harriers, and I'm still strugglin with torque rollin lol.
