Go right ahead, Flyer.
First, I want to emphasize that that hot glue idea was strictly for jigging things up... I was surprised at how little I needed just to baste the parts together. I have no intention to use hot-melt for anything structural. And like those old Brylcreem ads,(remember that stuff??) 'just a little dab 'll do ya. Gawd, I just looked it up on Google - I think that stuff is still around!
Part of the purpose of this thread is not only to build an unusual airplane, but to point out some of the issues that might come up building it. And if I can point out some of the pitfalls one might get in building this kit, it might encourage others to try the idea themselves, or to toss out better ideas to solve problems.
