Sorry, but you let yourself open for:

"No, Cosmottic, you are not the only new modeler coming in.."  ;D

You have to immerse yourself.. spend hours and days and weeks and MONTHS, or more, just getting familiar with it.

Forget trying to make an airplane for now. Try making simple objects to exact sizes and then manipulate them.. re-shape them, cut them, merge them.

Then try making specific objects. I found that making chess pieces was a good excersise...

I could model a nicely detailed set of classic chess pieces in an afternoon. A suitable airplane model takes me the better part of a year to complete.

A single propeller blade is more complex than a pawn or bishop..   ::)

You need to model HUNDREDS of individual parts, all to exacting scale and proportion, most of them non-symetrical, and many of them animated..   ;)
