Default I need a plan to start

Hi
I am a beginner, searching for an already made plan of a sport model plane.
I have found in the net a lot of downloadable plans but some are too small or too difficult and i don't know if they fly so
I am wondering if you can provide me with a plan for a model of wingspan approximately 72 inch, 3 or 5 channels (rudder, elevator, aileron, throttle, flaps ),and details about the assembly with the Engine used and the RC.
Pleas send me files that help in every step of the constraction with the type of material used in the constraction (the body is it wood and what type of wood) and this is my Email [email protected]

I would look into picking up a kit,

there you will get plans, the wood precut and of the right type, and a proven design.

this will help give you an idea on what goes into building a workable plane.

Hamed,

1. Start with a trainer not a sport, this will save you alot of angush.

2. Find a field

3. Find an instructor at that field.

4. Get AMA insurance.

For a trainer I like SPADS ( spadtothebone.com ), but for whatever you get be carefull these are fun, but are not toys. Take your time and learn the basics, The rest will come as your skills grow.

Try a kit first. It will save you a lot of headaches and teach you the basics. You can scratch build later when you know how to build one. Heres a link to a good kit.

hi Hamed i'm from Jordan and i would really recomend u try a SPAD which stands for Simple Plastic Airoplane Design
they have free plans and very easy to make believe me and all components are of very low price compared to balsa wood crafts, they live longer too much longer. the best for a biginner and an expert, they make u enjoy the design.
we might fly together sometime too we r 7 hours away from each other.
