I'm building a tiger 2 right now, and tomorrow I will probably be installing those blocks (along with getting the fuse framed up) What did you guys use for adhesive? Epoxy or CA?
Epoxy, 30 minute or longer.

Do you think I should make some plywood triangles for support?
Go buy some maple engine mount material and make a solid structure across the fuselage, anchoring it to the sides and the aft fuselage bulkhead. Make this block flush with the top of the fuse so there is no space between the block and the wing. Drill and tap as normal.
Also, throw some tri stock in there...it won't hurt. It'll never come loose. For the super paranoid, drill some 1/16" holes into the blocks from the fuselage and pin the blocks with round toothpicks.
I'm assuming you aren't using torque rods for the ailerons. If so, you will have to relieve the block in the vicinity of the rods.
