Default RE: Before you start building...

My 2 main reasons to avoid CA:

Cost and fumes.

I do know there are places where the CA really is the glue of choice. I use the equivilent of one of the tiny Super-glue bottles each .40 size plane (the 2 bottles for $1 at the Dollar store size)

I use about 9 cents worth of yellow glue on an average .40 size plane. (that $5 quart bottle has lasted a LONG time... still got a bunch left of it)

I use about one dollar's worth of Epoxy if I have to do the dihedral joint, fiberglass center tape reinforcement, tailplane attachment and firewall fuelproofing. (some don't need as much...)

Strong, light and cost efficient.
