Super size plans - how?

[DbleDuce]

I saw the latest Flite Test YT video where the DR1 plane was super sized. Josh mentions that we can do it ourselves, but how does one go about it?

I want a super sized SE5, so the Full Size plans were downloaded. Since I don't own a printer I will need to take them to a printing service. So do I take them to Staples and say I need them 200% bigger (as Josh mentions in the video)? Is there something else I need to tell them?

I understand I will have to still modify the templates to account for foamboard thickness, design a new motor mount and I am sure some other stuff.

Any help, as always, is very much appreciated!

That’s basicly it, tell them to enlarge 200, or whatever you want.

And you know to adjust for thickness.

If also helps if the place has a way to make really large signs, preferrable to what we used to call "F" paper. 24 x 36" or roll which starts as 36 wide. Otherwise they also have to calculate and tile and edges are notoriously odd on tiled.

Thank you, I will try it this weekend!
