Just started using fusion 360 instead of sketchup, im still figuring it out but man theres so much more potential. I clicked your video because i used the same blueprint references to make the A-10 in sketchup a couple years back. Needless to say, yours looks a lot better and im excited to learn how to use Fusion 360 to make my planes look better. Im looking to get into making my own rc planes as a hobby. Great job
Thanks for stopping by! I have a tutorial playlist that should fast track you a bit in your Fusion journey! It’s not quite for total cad beginners so your sketch up experience will definitely help out. Good luck in your endeavors and reach out if you have any questions!
It is really impressive: you are a real magician. I need to learn this soft instead of sketchup which does not offer these capabilities. I have already tried but it is not very easy to start because it is not the same logic than sketchup
Hi @erich3507. Thank you for the kinds words. I played with Sketchup a while back but I think it's strong suit is more for what my co-worker calls 2.5D modeling where one axis is always locked down....which makes sense since I believe Sketchup catered towards buildings etc. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi sorry for the delay in response. I was going to do a video on this because it's more of a process than a task. But the short answer is you would need to establish your baseline knowledge. I would suggest going to Autodesk Academy (free) or a long baseline course offered on YT. Lars Christensen has a good course. It'll suck in the beginning but it'll form the foundation. The course take a couple of hours but most importantly is that they're structured and designed to teach you Fusion vs just learning a simple trick in Fusion. Once you get that baseline and practice modeling, you'll get to the point where you can watch specialized channels where they show you have to solve specific problems. I prefer the Autodesk Acad courses because there are "hidden" functions in Fusion (like hovering your mouse to get center points and things like that that I don't see a lot of channels talk about.)
Once you get a decent foundation, everything will move very quickly and you won't have to spend much time watching videos as you'll start searching for specific tasks. It'll take a couple of months to get a good foundation. It's really about learning the platform "language" and what functions are available. Also, watching videos of other platforms like Blender, Maya, Catia, etc....will help tremendously. While they don't all have the same functions, they all have the same thought process (which is really what you're after) and very similar functions and then you transfer that into Fusion functions....which leads back to your original comment about sketchup and different logic. Most other programs have very similar logic or process. For example, for surface modeling it's hard to beat Blender or Maya so watching those guys and their strategies will open up new ideas for you in Fusion. For reverse engineering, Catia has some really awesome features and Fusion has a variant of those features. Good luck! Reach out if you have any questions.

Thank you very much for making this video! 👏💪
This is my favorite project to date
Thank you sir!
Stunning👍🏻
Thanks for stopping by! Appreciate it! Happy new year!
Awesome, this would be great for replacing bad canopies in plastic kits👍
That’s a pretty awesome use case. Hmmmm. Maybe an SLA printer. Thanks for stopping by Trey!
another awesome video!
Thanks again! Appreciate you stopping by!
