Building with Dollar tree foam board (DTFB)

Hey all. I’m another new guy and I’m here with a seemingly simple question but I’m pretty stumped.

I am trying to print the ft22 plans out and use DTFB but I’m having a heck of a time getting them to line up so I can cut them out.

My question is: are the ft plans properly scaled to work on DTFB and if not. Does anyone know what I can do to make it work on DTFB.

Thanks!

Yup, they’re made for DTFB or the Flite Test Foam Board. Both are 20x30”.

Print from Adobe Acrobat, not from your browser. In the Acrobat print dialog, be sure to choose 100% or “Actual Size”.

The plans come in two formats, one is for a larger format printer, like found in a print shop. The other is made for a regular consumer printer. You will need to tape the pages together to make your plans.

Also check the measuering scale with a ruler. You may need to adjust the print scale slightly.
