Man, you guys have really been helpful. Much appreciated. I have made some progress in the building, which is an education in itself, but getting there. I have only assembled ARF's to date. My hanger is in good shape so I thought I would finally get around to building a plane from a kit. I chose this model simply because I have never had a Cub, and this one was available in an estate sale for 100.00. I also picked up more wood than I will use in my lifetime so the setting was right. I have taken your words of wisdom to heart and determined that all the glues mentioned serve a purpose. I am using CA, Epoxy and tightbond. Hows that?

I like the analogy of building like a bird to fly Vs. a bull dozer to crash. I will keep this one in mind.

Here are some pics of my progress. The fuse is straight and everything squares up nicely. I sanded down the rough edges and now getting ready to add the firewall and mounting box. I'm ordering a cowling from Fiberglass Specialties. I hope I have enough room for the Saito 182 twin. It looks like it will be tight.

Let me know if something looks wrong or you see a concern.
