Hey guys, i'm going to ask this around on different sites, but i'll try here anyway. I'm looking at modelling an Edge 540 aircraft.
which is this one:

but i've never done anything to this level before, where would i start and how would i go about doing the modelling?

i'm competent with the line tool, and standard primitives. i just don't know how to apply them to this.
there is a three view schematic here:

Your first port of call should be to set up the reference sheets inside of 3ds and then you can use plane modelling to build it all up. If I remember correctly, cgtuts+ did a tutorial similar to this but instead they were modelling a car - the set up of the reference sheets might be worth watching.
