F-15EX Eagle II build journey

Alright so a little update here.
After I taped the plans to the foam board I seperated parts from one another, to create smaller pieces so it will be easier to cut the parts out.
This way I can more easly rotate the piece to cut out the part with more ease.
Once that was done, I started cutting out the parts, a process that took two days of work.

The end result of this...

Is this.

The side on the left is everything that I cut out so far, the one on the right is everything that needs to be cut out again mirrored.

But wait, I have finished just yet. Remember I said that some of the parts need to be mirrored? Well quite a few of them need to be so about another two sheets of foam board, taping and cuting to do. I'll try to many use scrapes that I have laying around for the smaller parts and full sheets only when it's a must.

A question for you all just to make sure I ain't stupid. On foamboard there isn't any really reason to mirror a piece unless you need to score cut the right side or am I wrong?

Alright so a little slow because as a hobbist I get distracted into different projects, this time it was modeling a wheel set for and SU27 model you can read about that here: https://forum.flitetest.com/index.p...possibillities-are-endless.76179/#post-764393

Any how back to this subject.
I taped back to foam board the pieces that needed to be mirrored over, and like I assumed it was about two more sheets of foam board. So about 6-7 in total.

I also started cutting out these pieces but didn't get to far, and cut out only the bigger pieces, got about another 17 to go ...

Will get there soon after I make myself another SU27. One thing that really bums me out is the fact that I thought that my two 70mm EDF would be suitable for this model but they aren't. Which means that I need two new 70mm EDFs with 12 blades that can drive about 2.2kg of trust each, to make this able to fly. More over i'll also need two new 80A+ ESCs for this .

Hope to get the budget or find a dorner for these parts soon.

That’s it finished cutting out all of the pieces now I just need to study the build pdf and get to building. I’ll still have to wait for the two 70 edfs that I need to order.
