Interest in full sized plans?

[ducksoup]

To all my fellow swappable maniacs! I'd like to get a feeling of who would be interested in getting full sized swappable plans at a reasonable price. I've discussed this with a local printing company and they could do full sized, to scale drawings for $2.99 a sheet. The only problem, for right now anyway, is these would be black and white. Their new large sized color printer is still a few months away. You would be dealing directly with the printer. You would email them a pdf file of the plans and give them your address and make payment arrangements and they will mail out your plans. Im not involved in this, nor am i being compensated in any way for these. I'm just trying to help grow the hobby. Please let me know If any of you are interested and if there's enough interest I'll let the printer know and we'll proceed forward from there.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom, sounds convenient for those who can't get to, or don't have a local printing place.

However, just as feedback to pass on, my local shop (it's a national chain) prints full sized FT plans in black and white for $2.40 AUD per sheet which at current rates is about $1.75 USD. If the $2.99 includes postage that's not so bad, but otherwise somewhat expensive!

I'd consider it but can't say that I'd be a big customer. $3-4 US +/- including S&H isn't bad but given that it would create a long lag time I's probably print them out myself for the instant gratification.

That may be a great option for some people. I'm in the instant gratification camp though. If I'm willing to wait for printed plans to ship, then I'll just buy the speed build kit, and skip all that hassle.
