Help! Simple Cub speed build vs scratch build from "tiled A" plans

[KarlBeers]

This question is for the crew at flite test.

I have downloaded the Simple Cub tiled scratch build plans (A) for 8.5 X 11" paper. I also have a speed build kit for the Simple Cub...and I noticed something.

I cut out the tiled plans and glued them to poster board for future builds. I noticed that if I take any of the tiled build plans and lay the same component from the speed build kit over the tiled plan component.... there is a slight size difference. For example, I took the speed build power mod and laid it on top of the power mod from the "tiled plans" and the tiled plans are bigger by about a 1/4" all around every edge.

Is this normal?

Did you print them at 100% size? On each of the tiled pages there is a ruler printed marked in inches and cm - measure this to check your scaling is accurate.

Also, the printed plans have a boarder, if you don't account for that the plans would end up larger.

Yes I am pretty sure I print it out at 100%… But I will check that scale on the plans

Your printer could just be weird, you may need to scale down to get them correct. The plans all have a 6" scale on them, play with the scale until it is exactly 6" long.
