No problems Dennis, hope you enjoy the model, maybe you should copy the plan and make it 100% bigger, now that would be somthing to see on the slopes??

ok, the plan has arrived this morning.
now questions:

- how do you, gurus, transfer those lines onto material (wood/foam) ?
up until now I used to just glue a plan to the foam sheet and cut through the paper ...

- Fred, can your plan copier to scale up A0 page ? say make twice large (that will be four A0)

Hi Dennis,

Several methods here...
One explained here : http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77687 (from a copy)
More here in French (google..) http://www.retroplane.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=81
Same thing, but from a laser print and then an iron. That transfer the carbon on the wood (but same, you need to make copies of the parts you want to transfer...)

And I use none of them! I use a pin to mark the parts on the wood, then, you have to trace all the lines. Time consuming, but works great.
A little tip, useful for the ribs etc etc, is that once I have all the parts drawn on the wood, I glue another sheet below it with 2 or 3 drops of CA, and cut them on the fret saw... 2 parts are cut at the same time.

For the copies, I can do a copy, no problem. Save it as PDF, jpeg etc etc.
The copier have an enlarge function, up to A0, but not too sure how that would work to scan only one part to enlarge them if you want 4 A0!  :?:

Fred,
Could you scan it, enlarge, convert to pdf and then tile it to give you the right size for the printer? :?:  :?:

Hey Bill,

Yep, I can scan and convert to PDF.
Do you know a software that will tile to A0 or A1 ?  :?:

I've got an idea :

- take a photo
- load image into Profili2
- print it tiled for your printer !

(yes, I have licensed Profili 2 Pro)

Should just be a matter of setting the paper size in the print dialogue box
