and for a long term idea...how well would you say this could scale up so you could change over to a couple of smaller EDF from a prop?
I've found the first plane I want to make!

Copy the text and use https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&op=translate to translate it from German.

I appreciate the advice...but if you check, the text cannot be copied n pasted. I'd have to type it all manually or see if I could get the OCR on my scanner to grab it and printing this at letter size would make for very hard / impossible to copy / translate text, LoL.

Google Translate accepts copy/paste.

He's saying that the PDF won't let you select the text. I don't speak German, but I do recognize some words here and there.
I'm looking at it right now, and most of the text seems like supplemental information; you don't really need it to use the plans.
I have another set of plans from the same designer, and I think I got them in English somehow.... hang on.
Edit: nope my other set of plans are in German as well.

@CappyAmeric like Tench says, the text cannot be copied / pasted, so to convert to English would take a lot of time / labor...probably patience and beer too, LoL!

Have you tried exporting the PDF to a text format - then copy/paste?

There is a way in Inkscape to “take apart” a pdf, this video is for scaling up or down Flite test plans but at some part of the video he tells you how to do it.

well... sounds like a good experience
If it is something your really want to build, spending that bit of time transcribing could be worth it.

I have not. that function appears to only be available with a retail / subscription license as its not coming up on Adobe Reader. are there any free PDF editor options with this you would recommend?

give me a day or two, and ill take time to translate it. .. in fact some time ago a started with that plane with a EDF... never build it finished
woot! what size EDF were you thinking / planning to use? and if you're game, can you share pics of how far you got? also did you change the scale to suit the use of said EDF?

my build stopped , mainly because i find the type Depronfoam i used feels too flimsy. And 9g servos that i had, feels too big.
But the model should have, as a glider, it did indeed glided good. A lot better than i expected.
length/wingspan i made it in is 22".
I think, if wanna go further with this build, i rather will try using foamboard, and less internal parts. That needed be altered anyway, when wanted use a EDF.

Looks like a fun little plane. Might try this out some day.
