Default RE: Old Trainer Question

Gents, thank you for your inputs. I do have Titebond II which is a wood glue. Also have CA and Epoxy (6 and 30 minute).
The plane like I said before is already framed up. But, some of the areas on the wing have come un-glued. I do have to fix quite a
few spots. Another thing I plan on doing is the center section of the wing where the halves meet is to re-inforce the joint by soaking some fiberglas cloth in with thinned 30 minute epoxy and applying. For sure I'm gonna do the underneath but most likely also do the top. I've seen too many horrors in the air (wing halves coming apart) that could have been prevented by adding some glassing to the main root section. Also gonna add some blocks as I don't really like the landing gear that came with it. I can probably get either fiberblas or aluminum mains but I want to add the blocks inside fuse for the added security. Believe it or not, the plane is
a taildragger. While I have other taildraggers in the fleet, I just may make this one trike gear.
Funny in that this plane is just a 3 channel. I have a couple of electric planes that only use rudder and elevator but no glow ones.
Hell, I'm gonna grab my digital camera and take a few pics so y'all can see what the "sam hill" is going on! LOL!!!!
