How to make a Custom Design (Made out of wings) Plane?

[Scaprod]

How do I make a custom design plane (Made from wings)? I would like a video if you can make one, I would like one in depth, and I have yet to go ANYWHERE in space with a plane of my own.

I'd say start slowly. Take Mk1 cockpit, slap tail cone on it. Add two swept wings and a tail fin (vertically) at the back. Attach two tail fins horizontally to the cockpit (so they act as canards). Add single LY-05 wheel under the nose. Than add two Mk0 liquid tanks under the wings (you might have to adjust the position of the tanks with offset tool). Place two air intakes to the front of the tanks and two Juno engines at the back. Add two Elevon 1 to the wings (rotate and offset tools are your friends) and finally add two LY-01 wheels under the tanks (make sure they are exactly 90 degrees to the surface). Now move your wings so that centre of lift is just behind centre of mass. Move engines on the wings so that rear wheels are behind centre of mass also. At the end use offset tool to lower the wings so that wheels are at the same hight to the front wheel. Still make sure wings are parallel to the ground. Now you have a very basic plane that should fly pretty stable. Go on from there. Add bigger engines, larger wings, more fuel tanks and learn as you go.

To clarify, are you trying to know how to make a spaceplane, or how to make a very specific plane that can go orbital?

Spaceplanes are poorly lingo'd around here as SSTO's, and there's a ton of viable videos out there about them, from building them to some of Thrimm's low tech designs that he's shown off.  I recommend you poke around YouTube, there's tons of videos on it.  I'd point you at some of mine but none are valid in the new Aerodynamics.  Anything from 1.1.2 or further should be overall useful to you, though some minor details may change.

Mark Thrimm though is very good.  Find one of his vids here:

I was thinking of a plane that has a fuselage of wings like the Astroliner IX...
