Not that I know of (which is why I made that series in the first place). I used this series when I was first starting out, and it helped me build some fundamentals. (I didn’t follow it step by step, but more of used it as a base, and made my own style). Thanks to @Whit Armstrong for making it.
Just slight differences in how I preferred to design. I mostly just made everything simpler and lighter.
I mostly self taught myself, but I had my brother to help me when I had a question about hw Onshape works or how to do something. Honestly the best advice I could give is to just design a few planes without intending to build them first to get used to how things work. I probably designed 5ish planes that were terrible and never got made but helped me learn a lot. As for the formers, there were n outlines, but I usually dont use them anyways as i find you end up having to tweak them so much anyway to make things look right that they aren't very useful. So I just eyeball the shape of the fuselage or if there are diagrams of the formers I'll kinda copy the basic shape. Hope this helps and I'll think about shrinking the rear holes but on many of my other planes I haven't used a rear spline at all and they've been fine. I really only used it bc this is a tailwheel and I wanted it to be a little stronger. I'll attach a picture of one of my other planes' wings so you can see hw they work
Looking at cross sections can help
Yep, I normally use 3 views.
Maybe look up how eflite did it with their Ultimate 3d (I have one) It's a decent mechanism, and very simple. Though eflite made theirs a bit too weak in my opinion. Or maybe it's just because of how rough I treat it in the air... 😂
