Les: is there a way to down load a larger image?  When I print out the PDF of your drawing it is so small that I can't read the dimensions.

It is 24x36 sheet size.  Have not had time to set it in smallers sheet sizes

Consider taking the file on a thumb drive to Kinko's - you will then have a full size print:)... Rubber cement it on the metal and fabricate...

I have emailed them documents before.  Best to call ahead I suppose if you don't have a thumb drive handy.

Take a ruler with you and get one dimension right, and the scale will be right. 

Les giving the page size should make it come out right the first time. 

Kinkos here never charges for pages you can't use.

This modified file prints on 8.5/11 paper using your printer 'shrink to fit' button...

Shrink to fit works on my epson printer.

Thanks for sharing your throttle arrangement.   I have it filed for future use.  I have a question about your 2 engines.  I am trying to decide on the ignition type and noticed you have both types.  Which do you prefer?  Do you have any problem with the mag protruding in the fuselage?  Does it interfere with the rudder pedals?
Thanks in advance

The automotive 009 is easier to start and works great. I would say it depends on the type of flying you intend to do. For long cross countries to multiple airports the magneto works better although with 2 batteries on the automotive ign i get about 7 hours flying time with reserve. I use dry cell batteries and total weight each about the same
