Draw the pieces of your plane on a piece of paper. This is so you can cut those pieces out later. If want to you can look to order the delta dart kits which is really helpful.

 Get a propeller with hook attached to it. Tie a rubberband there and have a pin going through the balsa wood of the fuselage, then tie the rubber band to that pin. Whenever you wind it up it should fly in a circle when you release the plane.
