Yes you are correct Sundaram Sir.
I always like to share my little experience.

Wooooaaaa!! That was like Monaco F1 race!! Cant believe !! jaw dropping !!

So should I pick up Climax for CADding (sadly its PDF is raster - DFX conversion would be hell). We can build multiple copies once CADed.

Ujjwal not much to CAD in this plan of Climax delta. Only ribs are available and if you are constructing fuse as such then the firewalls are available. Rest you might have to plot every other part all afresh by physical measurement from the plan. The sheeting's, Side walls, Transom pieces, top and bottom braces of the wings, wing leading and trailing edges, control surfaces. Further to remove the pixels of grains pattern of balsa in every part is going to be a nightmare for DFX Conversion. Conversion to a DFX would be a project in itself. You can try that surely

For me building a single model scratch building is a much better option. as such the plan parts are very conducive for that. My main reason for picking up these plans was primarily because the plans were Conducive and flexible to even rearrange the inter-say distance of the ribs on a grid board.

Some progress.

Two sets of Ribs are out from the plan for cutting.

Wow !! thats some progress. Sadly I am more on the Tech side than arts side and weariy of cutting plan by hand like old school vetreant like you (specially Ply parts). I agree the CAD conversion of Raster planes like that is not like cakewalk I had with Vector PDF files. Will give a try in DevWing/DevFus.

All the best for the build

Why do you need to cut two sets of rib templates, half the numbers would have done and you could have kept half on the plan to build on.
Or instead of cutting up your plan, just place your plan on the balsa sheet so that the inked side is on balsa and iron over with warm iron to get nice black lines of the profile you want to cut

Thanks Captain for the tips. Yes nice idea on iron on ink transfer. Will try that.  thought of using a carbon paper transfer though. I am a newbie on Balsa build need to learn a lot from maestro's. I was just going to make an economic arrangement on the balsa sheet with minimal two sided tape and just cut it. With resources at disposal getting one more A0 sheet printed is no issue.

Anyway I have retained intact the portion of plan required to be build on.

Came across one more guy who had built a similar model for HK Pulse jet.

Thank God someone bumped this thread. I had almost gone into hybernation on Aeromodelling. Reached Coimbatore safely settled down. Param busy in 11th 12th. I am busy doing a PG in Mass media communication and Journalism.

College grounds is an amazing place to fly in the foothills of Neelgiris. Need to pickup back where I left it.
