Hello,
When I first received my plans, I scanned them into PDF format 1:1. I print out copies as I build and make my building notes on them. I have misplaced the originals and up until this point, it has not been a problem at all.
I now need to cut out the foam ribs for the elevator. While I scanned the pages 1:1 and print them out to scale on 11 x 17 paper, I remain cautious that the scale may not be 100% accurate. Now I need to use the page that comes after page 9-20 as a template to cut out the foam ribs. There is no ?Scale? on this page that the builder can use to make sure the template is accurately printed at the proper scale. I copied my page and measured the foam boxes using a dial caliper to the OUTSIDE portion of the boxed lines. That page is attached to this email.
Does anyone out there have plans they could use to double check the same dimensions. Could you please confirm or correct the measurements I took to see if my print-out is to the proper scale before I cut the ribs and adhere them to the skins.
I would also recommend to VANs that any templates like this and in other parts of the kits, also include a scale that we can use to verify the template is the proper size.
Thank you in advance.
