Ken....Symmetrical rib profiles are for stunt flying and thin flat bottomed profiles are for speed flying.
So a compromise between the two is where you`r at. Write down your requirements, to keep you on track. Using those spec`s research on your PC a profile to suit. Next, consider if the wing can be built with the type of material you intend to use. Wing Design / construction methods have been discussed previously.
Fuselage dimensions , essentially have been discussed too. Nose moment and tail moment are a product of the onboard equipment and their placement. As an illustration ...1 ounce heavy at the nose means 4 ounces added at the tail... approx. Short tail moments mean a quicker response from the control surfaces and vise versa.
