When you print it there should be an option to adjust the scale. Just remember, when you cut out you a and b folds to use the original gap as the scale adjustment will have made these too big.
Thank you very much for telling me about this! Happy flyingIf you scale it up using just enlarged plans you will find that the A and B fold channels are too large. If you do not want to alter the dimensions or cut the plans to reduce the channel widths and do not to use thicker material then there is an other method of ensuring that you have a truly scaled and solid build. Just have a quick read of:- https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/scaling-issues-in-fb.54265/
In my case I just use strips of Balsa of the appropriate thickness cut to the width of the FB thickness as the fill. The reason for the use of the Balsa is that it is as light as the FB and can be easily bent to follow curves where needed.
Just what works for me!
have fun!
We'll see what we can do. It will take a bit of time but we'll be back to you soon. I'll attach the dwgs to this reply when I get it done. Have fun chasing rabbits. 8/23/2018 A couple of things; I had to split the wing for it to be cut out on Adams foam board. Also note the wing spar is tripled. I hope I got all the adjustments that were need. If you are need help on printing PDF you can goto Nerdnic's thread in Plans. I hope every this goes well but keep in mind that I may have missed something. Scare the heck out of those rabbits..Please give it a shot. I have a weird computer that can't upscale anything
Like to see some inflight pixsI'm working on a 200% sparrow... I just set adobe to print at 200%...
here's where we are right now... I went twin motor although it does have a motor out back (hidden in the pic)... i'm going to yank it off here soon but I haven't gotten around to it...

I ended up doubling up on the fuse side plates... but before I decided that I just cut the notch for a single sheet (1 sheet thickness instead of two)... it ended up working well except one location... the doubler on the nose expects the wrap around portion of the nose to be 2x as thick so it came out a bit too small...

also figuring out where to mount your servos can be a bit of a compromise... I mounted mine here... I will be doing some zip tie guides for the control rods...

the last thing is I doubled the thickness of the wing spar... i'm running with no dihedral (and a CF arrow as a spar)... note that I've relocated my servos, I sat them along the back of the spar with the bottom of the servo on the top of the wing with hopes that I don't need to support the MUCH shorter control rods... if I do I'll just step up the wire thickness or sleeve the wire.

so would I lol... I hope to get the electronics installed this weekend... but my timeline to get a maiden is by or at FF Tx in november lol... I figure if I destroy it I'd rather it be at FF tx... I don't really plan on taking it home from FF tx anyway... so it'll prob end up traded or me pilfering the electronics and the carbon arrow spar... with that being said I may maiden her earlier just so I can get some bomb drops built on her...
I would say a necessity. You would not really be able to turn all that well I imagine. I would build mine but it is 72 sheets of paper.....So, just stumbled across this thread...
I notice most of the larger builds have ailerons... is that a necessity or just nice?
I see if I can reduce the number I drew up quickly and wanted get it out to you. I'll work on todayI would say a necessity. You would not really be able to turn all that well I imagine. I would build mine but it is 72 sheets of paper.....
Thats not right. 72 sheets is about how many sheets a 110% model aviation grumman albatross would beI would say a necessity. You would not really be able to turn all that well I imagine. I would build mine but it is 72 sheets of paper.....
I would beg to differ. Mine said 72 sheets through Adobe reader.Thats not right. 72 sheets is about how many sheets a 110% model aviation grumman albatross would be
