Default RE: CA vice Epoxy for Horizontal Stabilizer

Epoxy is stronger if the joint has large gaps. CA is stronger if the joint is tight.

For good tight joints, I flow in thin CA followed immediately with thick CA to control run out and fillet the joint. The advantage is that you do all of the gluing without disturbing your alignment. With epoxy you have to remove the stab, put epoxy inside the joint and then put the stab back in. Epoxy is harder to clean up too.
