Hi,

 

I've downloaded the extended flight manual for Black Shark from the DCS website, which is 534 pages.

 

Having a printing house print it for me is much cheaper than buying the printed manual, because shipping to Israel would cost 18 dollars.

 

So I would like to know what kind of paper to use for the printing: Is it A4? If yes, what weight per paper (80 grams, 120 grams, etc...)?

 

Thanks in advance.

The hard copy manual is A5 size about 230mm x 170mm approx.

Thanks. It helps a lot.

Do you happen to know what weight the paper is? Is it like the kind people use with home printers, or something more "robust"?

Don't think it would matter TBH.

 

Probably it be robust paper.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

good point. Print it robust paper and laminate it.

I eventually printed it on A4 paper, b/w, color cover. Spiral bound, of course. Came out very nice, but I'm afraid the spiral won't hold very long because there's just too many pages, so I might have to hardcover it later, if I see fit.

I printed it at 8.5x11 as well, but could not do 2 sided, so it is in 2x 3" 3 ring binders. Not the most handy for during flight. Need to buy the printed version finally.

One guy at Polish forums sells his printed manual bundled per-chapters. Or the whole manual divided into 3 or so parts, I don't remember. But it's obviously a good solution. Also I would personally go for a ring binder. The more the rings and the thicker the rings the better

I've already printed it on A4 papers, spiral bound. It came out fine, but if the spiral won't hold, I can always pay another 15 bucks to hardcover it.
