Default Epoxy or CA for framing?

I'm currently building a Sig 1/4 scale Cub. The question I have is whether or not you builders use epoxy or CA for framing the fuse? I understand That Epoxy will make the bird heavy and a friend recommended using CA. If CA thin or thick? If CA have you guys had any problems with it holding the plane together? Pic below shows what I have done so far and used 30 minute epoxy. It sure takes a long time to mix small qualities and would prefer to use CA if this is the standard among builders. First kit so thanks for the help. While I'm at I might as well ask this one as well. if you guys say to use CA, then on what parts would you use epoxy? I would suspect on the wing hold down, gear block and firewall. Any others?
