RE: Dallaire Sportster questions
Rebelion, are you familliar with the practice of double gluing, or "sizing"?
On end grain joints, like the uprights in a fuselage, it helps to put a little glue on the end grain, wipe it off and let it set a little bit, then go back, apply glue, and put the part in place. I usually let it set long enough to make the next one or two pieces.
The first application penetrated and seals the end grain and you end up with a much stronger joint.

I was wondering, is that the way you are suposed to glue spruce ?
Or do most people use epoxy ?
Thanks again, I may give your sugestion a try !!

Thanks Strat! I'll give it a try, and use epoxy as well.

RE: Dallaire Sportster questions
I've always had good luck with yellow (aliphatic) glue on spruce and plywood, too. As long as you make good joints the wood will fail before the glue.

RE: Dallaire Sportster questions
My little Speed 400 size Dallaire needs quite a bit of downthrust.....I'm guessing it's about 4 or 5 degrees, so I think 3 degrees would be a good starting point.
