Default Your Comments on how to do this balsa glue job

I am making a more scale profile to a set of aluminum landing gear by sheeting them in 3/16" balsa with half round end pieces on both leading and trailing edge. I'm venturing into a whole new world here.

My plan on this initial go around is to let the 3/16" sheets float on the gear and to glue the leading and trailing edge pieces to the balsa-aluminum-balsa sandwich. At first I was going to do it with epoxy, but got to thinking using Titebond wood glue wood be easier and just as strong. I would love comments anyone would care to make.
