I too am a bit new and curious about the use of ashesives in RC Plane Kit building. I was referred to
http://www.airfieldmodels.com/inform.../adhesives.htm

This is by far the most comprehensive kit building site I have found. Great information with lots of how to's and pictures

Carpenters glue is recommended for much of kit construction. Check out Titebond II Premium Wood Glue.
