Thank you for all your answers so far.
But i have the feeling that the main point of the question was not really addressed so far.
Primarily I was wondering about the pad size and position (mostly located under the part). The way the pad is shown in eagle I have a hard time imagining to be able to contact and head the pad with a soldering iron when the part is on the pad.
I would like to keep the pads as they are in order to save space if that's possible, but if it is advisable to move them a little further out in order to hand solder them, I would do so. For that i would like to get some recommendations or experiences from your projects.
Best regards,
