stack 2 foamboards on top of each other. ( the one you drew on should be on top.)

tape the 2 foam boards together so they don't move while cutting

cut the foam boards using your box cutter.

Glue It Together

now this is a realy hard part, I only had 4 hours to build this and it is a custom build plus first time so i used the electronics of a old drone that broke along time ago

housing your electronics, the most important part of the build ( without it no flying)

now first glue down your motors to the wings

glue your electronics on the base of the platform holding your 2 plane pieces together

next cut 2 6 by 2 foam cutouts to hold together the electronic and protect it. and glue it to the sides.

lastly cut out a 8/8/8 triangle to act as the nose of the aircraft.

now fly
