Privateer Super 15 (oz269)
About this Plan
Privateer Super 15. Radio control mphibian by Don McGovern, for .09 to .15 engines. Kitted by Berkeley in 1960.
Quote: "The Privateer Super 15 is a long planing hull type amphibian, which is the end product of several years of test flying this type of model. It will take off water or land, and may be flown as a free-flight, or by radio control.
As it has been designed principally for flying from water, the structure has purposely been kept light, to aid in breaking free from the water, with maximum radio equipment. It can be reinforced if extensive land flying is anticipated.
Fiberglass may be used on the bottom of the hull, and the manually retractable gear may be eliminated if you wish.
The design has been tested on salt water, and has suffered no ill-effect to either airframe or eqipment..."
Corrections?
Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

Beautiful job on the plan! I have this kit. BUT - I was just quoted over $200 (yes, Two Hundred) to have this plan printed out, as it exceeds the 36" maximum size most printers will handle. Is there anyone clever enough to split this drawing up into sheets that a 36" printer can manage? Sure would be appreciated! Thanks!Rudy Ewert - 09/02/2022
Rudy, take a look at the FAQ pages for how to print with a home printer. This tiling process is a bit fussy and you have to be careful to get the printed pages lined up but its doable. This plan would take 44 tiles (93.5 x 44 inches) but you could break it down into usable sections. Worth a try at least.
I'd also shop print shops to see if anyone has a 48" printer.

When you click on print, change your printer to the "poster" setting and it will tile the pages for you. I do this for smaller plans; I haven't done it for one this large. I would think it would require a good three-foot straight edge and a fair bit of patience!

See supplement file [titled: "_3_parts.zip"] for the plan split into three parts to fit in a 36" printer. Length does not matter, paper comes off a roll. May have to rotate the file when printed to get in under the 36" dimension. The place where I get my prints will do this but you have to tell them first, otherwise the printer just reduces the size to fit. Guess how I know. They usually charge 3 or 4 dollars per print. I loaded the file into GIMP and cropped out the selected parts, then exported as PDF, no problem.

Thanks for the excellent suggestions and tips guys! Very much appreciated!
Don't know why I haven't looked at the "zip" file - that works great!
Again my thanks.

Notes
* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
Scaling
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
