@MrSaramabbas I see you are from Pakistan, so I am not familiar with what paper is available. Phone book paper weighs less than printer paper, but is still stiff enough to hold shape. Let us know what you find, or perhaps other people from South Asia have suggestions.
@robotuti PDF readers are free downloads. Adobe Acrobat is perhaps the most popular. That said, I did add a GIF file link at sciencetoymakerDOTorg if you really can't open PDFs. You will have to find a way to scale it to the right size.
@k91616 RE scale check: Perhaps since you live in England, it prints a little differently, or perhaps it tried to "fit to page." In any case, 96 mm instead of 104mm is close enough.
@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO RE: where to fly: Yep, that's a great question.Outside only works at dawn or dusk, and only even then sometimes. Even if you don't go to a school, perhaps a school would appreciate your sense of experimentation and let you work there, maybe in a gym after school. Hypercam's community center suggestion is good. Perhaps a mall or store with a sympathetic owner. Let's see what other people suggest.

can you use normal tape or cut down. If cut down, how much?

@MrMiko99 Cut down to about half inch or 12mm
