Just curious what most peoples' preferences for wood glue is, especially for larger or 3D planes. I have always used CA, and just starting to use wood glue.

Check out this build thread http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=10632040 they talk about different glues.

I use a variety of glues,
TightBond
30 min epoxy
thin ca
gorilla or some other polyurethan glue
Elmers white (to seal a foam mold for a cowl)
RC56 canopy glue
goop (does real good glueing to polyethalean glass)
Some others I forget right now.

I have been using the Gorilla Brand Wood Glue (Not the Poly Stuff) for my latest build. Glue is working great and dries to a nice clear / brown color. Sands great and sets up relatively quickly.

Here is my latest project, a Sig 1/4 J3 Cub modified into a PA-18 Super Cub.

+1. I use what is needed for the area being glued. Most of my build is with CA but i use several types of glues. I have both Elmers and Titebond on my bench for wood glue but don't care for it on a lot of things.

Thanks for all the replies! I currently have gorilla glue, but I'm curious to try a few others. Cheers!

Resorcinol... just kidding! Elmer's Carpenter or the '-bonds': Titebond II, Sigbond and etc. Rarely use CA except for fixtures and jigs. 30' or longer epoxy for some of the higher stress and hardwood joints. Don't use 5' epoxy much except maybe hinge points.

Epoxy for foam sheeted parts, and CA for everything else.
