It’s not scaled. It’s the original plan scale 50mm EDF.What scale is it?

Couldn’t tell you, maybe Grifflyer can.No, I mean in relation to the real aircraft.

What scale is it?
24.5"/528" = 0.0464 ≈ 1/20

Well I decided it was do or die time. This bird has been sitting half repaired on my shelf for ages now so I wrapped up the last few bits and took it out to the field... Deciding it will earn its paint back or become salvage for parts on future planes.
And..... It flew perfectly. Learning from past mistakes I made sure to go into turns with some speed or altitude as turning too sharp can lead to a stall.. But otherwise it was fantastic.
Guess that means I'll have to sit down and re-paint the nose of this bird again!

I have better results tracing the plans rather than cleaning up someone's PDF. If you trace and weld or meld your line segments you get a much cleaner cut with far less wasted time raising and lowering the cutter head.
I also like to do three passes. The first at etch depth to apply the special instructions, location marks, and parts designations if needed. I run the etch for every line. The second is the score depth, which is applied to all lines except the etch lines. The third is full cut depth, applied to full cut lines only. The gives me a very clean finish cut. It takes a little longer, but most of the time is hands off.

Thank you I will try that
How much bigger should the plans be for a 64mm fan. I'm lost.help🤔Thank you!
I will post plans when the plans are done, until then I can't provide any sort of new update every day. I said they'd be done on the weekend and the weekend isn't over. Please have some patience. I haven't gone over my initial due date so please stop asking about the plans when they obviously aren't done. It's not like I'm hiding anything from you

I would say 125 % should be good, 120 % minimum.

At 126% it would be 63mm. Depending on the edf you use and if it has an intake ring.
