Default RE: My first ARF, should I re-glue and strengthen?

I would use epoxy in the high strength areas (firewall, landing gear). Probond is good for glueing parts together (be careful and go easy with it b/c it foams up pretty good).

Personally I do not like using the 5 min epoxy too much, sets up too fast for me.

Its a nice plane, a 46 is good for it. You will be able to do anything you want with it. Just be careful, this plane fits in the same category that most new 3d arfs do; its built light to fly...not crash. It won't stand up to "yankin and bankin" too much, it needs to be flown gracefully. The only extra 300s' I see crash are doing some wild, hi g aerobatics (one was doing a high speed fly by, then he tried to make a tight turn, well, you know the rest...).
