Airplane tutorial?

Does anybody know how to make an airplane in blender? I have a passion for flying and thought it would be cool to try an aircraft, any one will do, i just want to know how to get started. thanks all!

well, I don’t have a tutorial, but I use a way of modeling where you take three pictures of a object, one from the top, side and front and just take a plain and try to make the figure.
the attached picture is a good picture to base the model on. If any problems accur contact me at [email protected], or if you need any help. Good luck!

and to be very accurate set the picture as a background image and practicaly trace it

You can use my tutorial: http://www.pairal.net/xp.php?s=bta

cool! thanks i will try to do them both! do u guys know where i can find pics like the ones u have of the front and side views of planes? and maximo when u say take a plain and try to trace it what do u mean? how will it look like the plane at the end with a flat surface?

well, first you have to trace the plain-- trag and drop vertices-- to look like the picture of the top view, then go to front view and select all vertices then extrude it using E-key. Make it ook like the picure of the side view adn teh same with the front part.

you can find the pics by googling image plane blueprints-- or any blueprints if you want.

This site has a number of blueprints.

cool thanks guys! u know, im really liking this forum everyone has helped me out a whole lot and without this i wouldent have gotton as far as ive gotton today! so thank you to all!!!

no problem
