Many folks at my club prefer the hand crank fueler. Fills as fast or slow as you wish. Does not rely on electricity....cheaper.

Epoxy is the best wood adhesive that I am aware of. I could be wrong but that is what most RC manufacturers suggest for high stress areas. Just be certain to mix equal portions of hardner and epoxy or it will never reach full strength. Several formulas are available from quick drying to overnight. Longer setting is stronger.

If you need to build or fix, check out the building forum here. Info on everything here..most good. Good threds on builds there that will probably be exact or close to your planes design.

Planes are not easy, Heli's are a bit touchier and harder. However you can hover a heli right next to the ground where only slight damage might occur. Planes require speed for lift so once your up... your commited and you best know how to fly and land or have someone with you that does.

I am not familiar with the planes you mention...sorry.
