Default Right Wing

I used Thin CA to glue all the joints, the trailing edge sheet and the leading edge are the only places that have wood glue as added strength so far. I had already put the CA back on the shelf when I took the picture, so thats whay you only see the wood glue on the table.

The instructions say to go back and re-glue all joints with CA or Medium CA before sheeting. It also states to not be stingy with the glue.
I was thinking about going back and using wood glue on all the joints.

Is this a bad idea?
Should I just stick with the CA?

As for the grain direction, To be honest I have no idea what you could be seeing that leads you to think something is wrong. I went back and double checked it and I cant see any other way of doing it other than the way it is.
It appears to match up perfectly with the directions and the pieces are already laser cut.
Now Im not saying that its not possible for me to screw it up...lol
But so far I think I have built it according to the directions.

I know one thing for sure, I intend to keep a kit of some form on my table from now on. I really enjoyed putting that wing together and Im stuck here in this cube salivating waiting to get home to build some more.



What about the Glue? Wood or CA to go back over the joints?



Thanks
