Enter your search terms into a search engine, there is a vast quantity of information and websites available on the internet on the subject along with many companies that sell professional plans for RC planes.

Free plans are available, all you need to do is look. Also try your local hobby store.

What good will the plans do you if you have no parts? If you purchase the suggested kit, you will get plans, parts, and tips on construction and flying the plane.

As well, you seem to have a firm grasp of the principles of model airplane flight. I would suggest jet propulsion as the thrust source, rather that the boring performance of their propeller cousins. This comment offered knowing OP has no interest in pursuit of the project

I leave wishing the best of luck to you, and hoping your neighbors have all paid their homeowners insurance.

I haven't looked into this for years but you probably can get a lot of information from Tower Hobbies, Hobby Lobby, Hobby Town and many other online stores, local stores and RC hobby magazines. A couple of minutes with Google will get you all the sources I listed above and many others.

I don't know what you are trying to do but many years ago I purchased a kit from Tower Hobbies. They had many to choose from and as far as I know all of them were good quality.

If you are in the US you probably have RC flying clubs and stores that service the RC market nearby. I'm sure there are a lot of them in other countries too.

Actually i already tried this web sites but i want to make my own RC airplane. I don't want to make it from any kit. I want a complete literature to make RC airplane. So i can design small airplane and can make control circuit. Your suggested websites are very good they have great products. But i don't want to purchase i want to make it my own.

I think the OP does not have any grasp of the concept of building a RC plane and the controls/servos/radios involved, from scratch.

"So i can design small airplane and can make control circuit" sounds like a pipe-dream, to me.

I tend to agree.

However. experience can be a great teacher. If our OP can, indeed, construct an airworthy frame, and construct it carefully enough that it will indeed fly, I believe the lack of experience with the remote control will result in a widely scattered pile of broken parts augered into the ground at a spectacular velocity (perhaps together with a spectacular unscheduled thermal event). This is, after all, how I learned. This may encourage our OP to seek the assistance and personal experience we have offered. The entire forum is giving this fellow good advice, based on experience.

I have had two of these and really enjoy flying them. They are mostly foam construction so they are easy to repair if you break anything. They are very durable and are good from the beginner level up to the advanced level.

I would recommend that you spend a little extra to get a brushless motor for it. You can get 20 minute flight times and have enough power to fly straight up and out of sight.
