Hi. Name's Ken, been modeling for 43yrs. and flying RC for over 30 yrs. The glue you refer to IS NOT hot melt glue. IT IS a FAST SETTING Aliphatic commonly used in the Orient. This glue generally works w/o problems, but since the acft. are containered for better than 60 days (avg.) in EXTREMELY hot/humid conditions, sometimes this takes its toll (wrinkled covering anyone?).

That's my 2cents worth, thanx for listening. Its just that I'm tiring of reading this claim of hot melt glue use, and the slamming of the mfr's. based on misinformation. Try this for yourself, bond two pieces of wood with your favorite brand of hot melt glue. You'll find that the glue texture is not at all like the Aliphatic found in the imported ARFs. Also, one of the mfrs. reps. confided to me that the fast cure of the modified Aliphatic can also cause some problems because it can set up before it gets good penetration of the wood being joined.
