• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Hi all.

I am getting ready to build up some aluminum ailerons. I made a simple drawing of each aileron using DeltaCad. My intent was to have a full size print made of each aileron, lay each on the worktable, add blocks to produce a jig, then build the ailerons right on top of the drawings.

I hit a few snags. First i tried officemax, they aren't able to open a dc or dxf file. I tried a local blueprint company who does file conversions but ran into the same problem. Next i used a free online converter and saved the drawings as pdf. After sending to the blueprint co., they told me the pdf saved as 8.5 x 11. and wouldn't produce a full size print.

Can anyone tell me an easy way to print my DeltaCad drawings in full size?
