Ready 2 Trainer

[Come fly with me]

I tried creating a Ready 2 trainer as a first attempt as it is the p[lane i am learning to fly with at my local model club but i find it so difficult to get the shape right and so i am going to start fresh can anybody guide me on how to make it or where’s a good starting point the help would be greatly appreciated.

The sticky at the top of the "Model" forum is a good place to start as a tutorial using Metasequoia LE.

I've now got a rought shape of the fuselage but it looks well very messy if you get what i mean.
it looks like the model made from diffrent shapes.
is there a way to get it more smooth

You can join your shapes together manually by cutting and pasting them into the same object and using the "J" key, joining vertices. This is the long way to do it though. It's better to start with a single shape for the fuselage and then cut it where it needs to get smaller, shrink that section, cut it where it needs to get bigger and grow that section. Cutting with the knife and using shrink and grow can do wonders for smoothing out a cylinder form to look more like an airplane fuselage.

I've got the shape of the plane now how it actually looks like but when i load it into fms the curves become smooth which is a good thing but it also becomes balooned and the shape is good but it looks strange.
