A while back folks were looking for a way to generate
full-size drawings to help in fabrication. I came across this
web-based product which looks like it could help...
"The Rasterbator creates huge, rasterized images from any picture.
Upload an image, print the resulting
multi-page pdf file and assemble the pages into extremely cool looking
poster up to 20 meters in size. The
Rasterbator is a web-based tool, and is also available as a stand-
alone Windows application with no size or
resolution limits."

In fact I was just thinking, if one is concerned about their ability
to properly line up
the individual pages when assembling them into the full-sized image,
one can always
draw straight indexing lines on the original drawings, which can be
easily lined up
properly...for example, a straight index line at approximately main
spar position
when lining up drawings to visualize a top view of tapered
wings...which might be
hard to line up perfectly otherwise.
