Adhesives
I'd add this to the "why" part of this discussion..
CA is convenient and fast. That's why most modelers use it, because they're in a hurry. But it's not always the best choice. The main reason is that it's rigid.
In all structures, a rigid joint creates a "spike" in that area, meaning that energy tends to get concentrated there. If you have a lightweight, "stick"-type structure, which is engineered to absorb and distribute loads throughout itself, then you're better of with a more flexible (not weaker, just more flexible) adhesive. That would include wood glue, and I'd add silicone to the list, too.
Silicone has some great qualities for modelers. It helps absorb and damp vibration, but will not "break" loose, as CA and epoxy sometimes will. Many of us use it to attach firewalls and landing gear mounts in fiberglass fuselages. (i.e., "Goop", ZAP "Goo", etc.) Another bonus is that silicone can be removed later, if need be, with a sharp knife.
Epoxy is somewhere in between. It's more flexible than CA, but still fairly rigid. Certain types of epoxy are also quite strong, on their own, such as the West Systems epoxy.
There's no one "magic" adhesive that will do all modeing tasks. A little reading and research will lead you to the right one for the job. Also, adding various types of fillers to each adhesive can change it's properties in dramatic ways.
