I have a genuine 1946 Matt Kania plan.  The plan is 19" x 23". 

I've been thnking about ways to transmit it.

Have it scanned and printed at Fed Ex at printing and mailing cost of about $6 to $10.  Maybe I could get them to scan it and save the file to my chip for little or nothing.

Make two 11 x 17 passes at Office Max.  This would only lose a little of the blank border and cost about 60 cents.

Scan it in four passes on my home scanner.  This would zero the cost but leave the user a bit of an assembly job.

If you have it scanned and saved to a file, I'd like a copy please. I'd be willing to pay a nominal fee to help offset your expense, as I'm sure others would.
While the kit comes with a plan, there is no top view of the fuselage. Cross member dimensions are specified, so it can be built appropriately, but a top view would be nice to have.

If you have it scanned perhaps you could submit it here:

Just a thought.

I got it onto a jpg.  I will e mail a copy to anyone who wants build one.  I don't want to go into mass publication since I don't own the rights.  I haven't heard of Kania's estate going after people who build Ringmasters.
