I just finished my first sketch. Could anyone offer an opinion on the basic shape as a possible candidate for my learning project. It's about 12' long and 24" wide at the widest part. It looks a little big but it's actually really tiny. In the next couple of days I plan on working over all the cross sections to come up with a 3-D profile. I'm not sure what the pros do as far as the order but I figured I could try and figure out the shape first and come up with a ball park weight of the fuselage and wings. Am I headed in the right direction here? Mike J
