Extrapolation between to sketches

I have a project reverse engineering a drone wing so we can make modifications to it. The easiest method is to cut the section of the wing into slices trace the profile of each slice and then extrapolate the wing shape between the two profiles. Is there anyway that fusion can do this?

I would take a couple of pictures and put on canvases.

I would scale the images to 1:1.

 

I would sketch a couple of profiles using my Caliper measurements in conjunction with the canvas images.

I would then Loft.

 

File>Export and then Attach your *.f3d attempt here.

There are no dimensions on your sketches.

How do you know that your profiles are the correct size?

This was just a quick test. Profiles were created in Corel and brought in as DXF's, I measured across the profiles and they were the right size. For the actual wing the profiles will be traced from the wing into Coreldraw and then cleaned up before being brought into fusion as DXFs.
