How do you get the correct scale?

Move the wall closer to or further from the projector until the drawing matches the fuselage longerons you intend to purchase. :D

Seriously, this is the modern version of the old Overhead Projector routine except video projectors usually now have all the advantages of zoom and distortion adjustments.

Afterthought: You could deliberately use the Keystone and height/width settings to 'stretch' an incorrect plan while retaining the general outline - like correcting that drawing with the ridiculously short fuz that was discussed recently.

Yes spike is right a mix of zoom on the projector and the zoom on the computer. Built my windex ,DG 202 and jantar that way works really well.
