Can't.
Skuzzy will do that once approved and in-game. Otherwise, you can fly it in offline mode.

Download default skin for plane.
Change folder name to <plane>_xx
Switch plane bitmap with your new one
change the info.txt to something else (it will show up in the list in hanger as whatever you named it)

You will place renamed folder in your skins folder.
As long as you do not remove any native files in that folder, nothing will be "screwed up"

While probably not the best, you will find a nearly step-by-step walkthrough on how to edit skins and view them in-game (and in skin viewer) in my signature link.
