I thought that by downloading the files to my mother's computer, I could print them out any size I wanted to. I can't. The version of Adobe Reader only allows prints at 100%.

I reverse-engineered the graphics using the PRINTSCREEN function, so my LViewPro could rearrange them, and then I did a roundabout effort to get the new files on her compy...and found of that she has no graphics programming on her computer that can handle the new files.

I can solve everything by simply buying a new ink cartridge for my own printer.

I'm too smart for myself and also too cheap.

...Such is my obsessive streak.

Tuesday evening was the local IPMS meet, so while there one of the other modelers told me he wanted to build a model Pitts Special and so for overnight and today I worked on the idea. No mainstream plastic display model manufacturer has done a Pitts since L&S in the 1970s/80s. And the L&S was/is a tiny 1/72nd scale thing. On the other side of the scale are the large and expensive kits for remote-control operation. As the guy in question is a car fanatic with a huge collection in 1/25th scale, I thought it behooved me to find a happy medium.

This may be it. Plans for a small (but still bigger than what I need) remote-controlled model, but possibly an easy conversion to the scale I want.
