wow! You are serious, sounds like to me. No way I would ever glue a fin on a 40% airplane, weighs 46 pounds, with CA glue! The fin has foam under it as well. it is foam sheeted by balsa.
Only glue to use would be Titebond III, poly-urethane glue, or epoxy glue. MY question was whether epoxy resin is as good as 30 minute epoxy, I was never asking and would never consider, and do not know of anyone that would build a 40% aircraft with CA glue. Best regards
