To flatten the fuse you should try to use this : http://www.pumpkinpirate.info/flattery/
it doesn't always work correctly but it's still very useful.

Are you using the Unfold Tool?
To get the wing hole, make the wing section a group and intersect it with the panels it goes through. This will leave the profile of the wing on the fuse which you can unfold with the fuse.
If you look at the shading of the panels you can sometimes see where you might run into problems unfolding. On the third segment back from the front, there are a number of sections that are dark gray, looking somewhat out of place. These are likely to fold weirdly. I would just redraw these individual sections.
Also note that the way you have the fuse built, different diameters and different angle, the unfold will "split" along the seams, which is correct. Here is an example of what that looks like.

What are you skinning this with? Do you have an assembled wing modeled? The assembled wing we can use to intersect with the fuse and get the wing cut out locations. There is a lot of odd geometry in this to unfold. It needs to be done in sections then pieced back together in order to get something manageable. I will keep working on it, but I make no promises.
Really need the assembled wing.

SPONZ or Alp may be able to help. They probably have the most CAD experience here.
