You don't necessarily have to design on a computer. I started out drawing on exercise books with square lines and then scaling up the drawings on Mahjong paper. I think you should try that route first. All you need is a very long steel ruler, pencil, paper and eraser.
If your computer can't run 3dstudioMax, I suggest using a free 3D software called Blender3D. You will have to spend a lot of time learning it though. That's why you are better off starting first with pencil and paper. That's how great airplane designers started. If you want to design a Cessna 152 model, I suggest you get as many reference images and photos on the Cessna 152 before you begin.
I'm sorry but I can't help you draft the the design as I have too many things keeping me busy at moment.
When I started designing and building airplanes, I had very little help, I just looked at a lot of model airplane plans, read a lot on aircraft design and aerodynamics and the rest is just trial and error. You have to start somewhere. Here's what I found on google.
