I need to get some PDF plans for an RC aeroplane printed up. Is there any way to get this done online. There used to be print shops on the high street years ago but none near me anymore and going online I juts seem to find commercial printers. Im just wanting a few copies of some plans at A2 or A1 black and white.

Cheers.

Vistaprint print posters in A2 and A1. Maybe a bit pricier than you wanted though?

There'll be print and copy shops in towns near you.

There's loads of places online that offer printing services: https://www.google.com/search?q=order+printing+online+uk+A4+black+and+white

I tried to get some old maps printed by local printers.
I think most are only interested in contract work.

One-Offs Jobbies are maybe too much hassle for the lazy bastirts.

Is it a balsa airframe?

If it is, you could cut out the middle man and get it lasered directly. See if you have a local makerspace, they'll often have laser cutters.

I've found some model shops sites that have plan printing services but it looks like (me being cheap) I will do poster print out. It would be nice to get printed though.

It would go on fire.

I've watched enough James Bond movies to understand what a laser can do to stuff.

The no. 2 brought home some wooden stuff he'd stuck through a lazer cutter a few years back and he didn't burn the school down.
