if you having plane already made then there is no problem

but if u dont have it

i think you first do one thing

make one rough sketch using manual drawing

it will clear your idea

then go for 1:1 scale drawing
check it out how you can do it
u can use CAD program for it
it is very helpful.
u can balance C.G.
make its drawing
most imp is C.G.

I have made rubber band powered air plane last year

here are some pics

Hey guys,
            This is my first plane,i have never made one before.....i will post the pics as soon as i can(but i am having some problems in my computer and hence cannot upload the pics) .I bought this kit from India Hobby Center in Kolkata.i'm posting some pics of other planes in the net i found that look like my plane...  :).  It is totally similar except that only the wing's frame is made of balsa wood as in the picture of the second plane.
The Flying Squirrel is the closest macth to my plane. here is the link:
