>You could try to mirror wing sections and loft whole wing than move some points of yellow section until you have a better shape

That looks like it has some potential combined with a blend between fuselage and wing. I'll give that a go and post up the result, good or bad.

>my suggestion is also to pay attention how to manage points in wing sections
>supposing you need to blend wing+fuselage surely it failed because wing is too sharp
>avoid also to have the seam of the wing just in the sharpest part
>use MarkCurveStart plug-in to control each section and move it in neutral position

The extra point you show in the red curve (which is the way I did it) is so I can snap my wing profiles to guides to avoid having a wobbly leading or trailing edge to the wing.



>avoid to put a point in the sharpest part,give more distance between them to have more rounded shape
>this allows to blend or fillet to have more space available to work

hmm, good point. Perhaps I need to delete my snapping point after I have all the wing cross sections in place. It may help when doing the blend between fuselage and wing.

This is the shape I need to create on the underside of my wing. As you can see it is relatively flat under the wing.



@OSTexo

I'm more than happy for you to show me how to achieve better results with a better planned model and less points.

Ok, here is one way of tackling it. The white lines in the Network patches are G2 blend curves to try to keep continuity.

But after converting to polygons not too good.

Ok, I think this is bit simpler and gives a result that is good enough for my purposes.

What I learned in this exercise should stand me in good stead for other low winged aircraft.
