School project desperate for rc contsruction help!!
Hey for a school project my guiding question is how can i design a plane that flies effectively. The only problem is i dont know how to. I bought a plane that i can take the electronics from. But i have to build a body!!!

This is a fairly tall order. What is your time horizon?
Here's a good site for general building information: http://www.airfieldmodels.com/ Note in particular "Model Airplane Math and Design Theory" |

Go foam.
Check out the Scratchbuilt Foamies section here. They'll get you pointed the right direction. |

A scratchbuuilt foamie trainer would be the best choice for this I think. That would be something like the Blu Baby 33. This thread has a detailed build description for a that plane (or you can just cut the parts from the BB 33 plans):
