Need a little help getting going!

[Rbarracer1]

Hello all, My name is Adam
I recently found this website and I am amazed on how much help out all these people with there designs.

I would like to design and build a aircraft and maybe sell it as a kit or get it certified!

I am posting today to ask for some advise on getting started!
I have a Idea in mind for my aircraft but need the next step... I am having trouble with drawing it out... post any tips tricks etc... also I would eventually make a scale model, what materials would I need to do that. Also I would like use CAD to help and I am currently looking for a program any suggestions?

Ok so what I am dreaming up is:

1. Fast
2. Efficient
3. Looking at a I0-540 or 580
4. High or Low wing
5. 6-seats
6. Cruise over 200knts hopefully over 250Knts
7. Responsive at slower speeds

Ok so after this whats the next step!
Thanks for anyone that helps me out!!!:roll:
