I sent off the drawings to my local printers for A0 size quote, I’ve received the drawings back for approval. In the drawing, everything within the black boarder is A0 size scale, which accordingly should give a 64cm span model. I should have the quote at some time on Monday and possibly have the drawings in my hands too as the printers are just around the corner here in Corby.
Here’s what they’ve emailed

Hiya, just curious. Could you explain what is happening with the tabs? It looks like they will break off becaasue of the bevel? How thick is your materail and how deep does the bevel go down? Have you had a proof (not this digital version) to cchck?
I’m yet to receive the A0 size drawing back from the printers and I’m yet to decide what thickness of cardboard.
This video of this model is the best guide.

Cardboard RC Plane
Ah gotcha, I saw enough to allay my worry. I was concerned that they would be doing the cutting/bevelling leaving you with a flopppy tab. Pls excuse my bad writing, my brain being stupid today.
I know all about floppy tabs nowadays!
Got the price for A0 size £21+Vat… 
Sheets eBay
I think a better model would be made out of two thicknesses, the main body which you’d want to be stiff could be out of the double sheet and everything else from the single sheet which should be easier to fold.
The only way to keep cost down would be to recycle cardboard from a work place and then draw directly by hand to the scale one wishes to build…
If you have all the other bit, motors, etc then the cardboard and drawings to scale will sting you ~£50.
Is it worth it?
After my flight tests of the foam plane, and reading into flight aero dynamics, it looks like I will need a 3rd servo for a dedicated elevator on the back of the plane
its crashed, its crashed. where’s the glue. oh sod it.
I was looking forward to the first ever flight of an elevator less plane…
But I bet it just bounced….
