Best advice for any kit

As to the time it takes to build... that is HIGHLY variable. I've always been a very fast builder, and can complete a model such as a 4*40 in 3 days or less. 20+ years ago I built a Gentle Lady litterally ovenight. (my 4th or 5th R/C kit) I have seen people take in excess of 2 years building a Great Planes PT-40. (which takes me about 1 week)

My advice on CA and building... avoid the CA. you can come out just as light (lighter...) and build just as qucikly using yellow carpenter's glue. and, you can reposition stuff aftert he glue is applied. (and if the yellow glue has set... heat it and it lets go and is able to rebond with just heat 1 time!)
