Default RE: Epoxy or CA for framing?

Hi,

If I had to choose between epoxy of CA I to frame up a fuselage I would use CA, preferably the thicker one.
If I could choose anything I want I would use regular wood glue.

I use CA for small repairs or to glue hinges in. I use epoxy for mounting the firewall, attacting wing bolt plate, attaching wing halves, gluing in tailfeathers.

[link=http://www.airfieldmodels.com/information_source/construction_materials_for_model_building/adhesives.htm]Here's[/link] a link that explains the advantages and disadvantages of all the glues that are out there (atleast those that we can use).
