Without the lamination of paper, how are you planning to the folds?

There are two types of folds used in the Ft explorer builds A fold and B fold thus keeping the best part extended and apply glue. (The parts fit exactly same)
Also reinforce by tape if necessary.
And using epoxy glue instead of hot glue

Hello everybody,
The plane was ready but it is underpowered with 8*45 prop thus waiting for 9*45prop and after assembly was done one servo was damaged.
