PLANS, PLANS, PLANS!! - Printing Service

PLANS, PLANS, PLANS!!!!

Plans are a staple for many of us in this hobby. We use them on our builds and our repairs. They are a scratch builders best friend (even when we decide to deviate from the plans

)

If you have plans that need printing, I've got you covered! With my LP-1030 I can print on up to 36" wide rolls of 20# bond paper.

At your disposal, I have 36, 24, and 18 inch wide paper rolls for all your printing needs.

And if your plans don't fit on what I have (I'd love to see that) I can easily format to print on multiple pages without you having to arrange a thousand letter size pages on your living room floor.

Pages are priced by the linear foot (LF) based on the roll width. Buyer pays shipping.
36" roll = $1.05 / LF
24" roll = $1.00 / LF
18" roll = $0.95 / LF

Discounted shipping for orders over $25.00 USD
Discounted printing for orders over $20.00 USD

Shipping to USA only right now.
International shipping TBD.

Hello I just found some plans that I would like to build over but how do I get the plans printed to be the actual size so I can build on the plans, like I used to with a kit airplane. This isn't a kit only a plan I found, and I have never scratch built anything but I am trying to figure out how to get a set of plans printed from the files I have so it is possible to built on top of the plans. Any ideas?

the UPS store will tile plans for about $4.50 for a 20"x30" sheet!

Or you just print off the tiled one which you can just print off with a regular printer and then cut them out and then tape them together giving you the 20x30 sheet....

Yup, that's the cheap option. Which is what most people do. 👍

But it takes a LONG time with big plane like the XL tri plane!

Yes I know, I've tiled planes that I've never built, including a 400% Dr1, which took hours to tile. (2 massive sheets)

The 10ft A-10......😨

Have fun...

Well I have a few plans I would like to have you print, what do I do send you the files first? And would I need your email address to do that? Are you saying that all plans are printed on 20"x 30" paper and then they will be the correct size to build on top of?

No, it depends on how big those plans are supposed to be, it is just that DTFB plans are 20x30. And neither of us have a printer capable of that…

I just had a couple of the plans printed at a print shop here on big paper 36" x 48" paper but the plans on the paper say a certain size, example half of the wing is on the plan and says it is 28" but it isn't actually 28" on the paper. I used to build the plane right on top of the plan on kits I used to buy. I know this isn't a kit but was hoping to be able to lay the wood on top of the plan and build the wing, but it won't be the right size. How do I get these p,ans to print out actual size? Anyone know?

If they were FliteTest plans they all have an inch and metric scale in one corner. Let your print shop know you want them printed at the actual size of the document not scaled to the paper and then check them with a ruler or tape when you pick them up.
