Wow there is enough information here to start a flight school. Wings not needed just flap your arms until you hit rock bottom.
 
A suggestion on how to make something fly is take an existing aircraft of a somewhat similar type and begin by changing all the cfg types entries to those necessary for the new aircraft. From there , once you have weights and dimensions, then work on getting the engine output correct, you will need to adjust the contact points, then get the drag tuned. The fun begins adjusting the aerodynamics. None of this stuff is well documented! A lot of test flying, adjusting and further test flying.
