Welcome aidensere07, I love the wild thing and did exactly what you are
proposing. If you want to save yourself a lot of headache trying to
tile these plans on to a4 paper, put the PDF file on to a memory stick
or cd and take it to your local print shop. If they can reduce it
there, that is your ticket however the easiest way I think is to get
them to print the full sized plans first and then photocopy them.
The package would have come with 2 different formats, the other one
being a cad type file. If your print shop has cad or some other type
of cad viewer, they can print it that way. I did it that way and got
the plans on one sheet. either way, if you get the original sizes on
one sheet, you can do any size you like after that. Make sure you get
2 copies of each. Shouldn't cost an arm and a leg, I got each sheet
printed for around 3.65AUD a sheet.

Many thanks for your help, i live in the uk and am unaware of any print
shops around here although i have emailed a company that maybe able to
help with full size plans that i can then scale down, im scaling down
in order to go electric. unless i change my mind of course! Do you own
a wild thing? are there any tips for a first time builder such as me?
again many thanks for your help

No problems at all mate!!
Yeah I have a wild thing, soon to be wild things....I currently run a
26 inch brushless electric which is just awesome, I normally run it on
either 3S or 4S lipos, all homemade hardware.
Tips.....well the best tip I can offer if you are wanting to go really
fast is to build strong. I recommend building with light ply, mine has
a 2mm hull but the sides are 1.5mm thick. I am currently rebuilding
mine after a bit of an accident a few weeks ago where my lipos went
flying out the sides(they were balsa with a veneer planking on top for
a bit of strength).
Epoxy is also your friend, I recommend to use epoxy on the inside, with
some fibreglass cloth on the seams.
Other than that, it is a great build and if properly set up will
provide you with a lot of enjoyment.
Mine in action.....in its better days...
