RCKen,
I've learned a lot from your thread- Thank you
The 300s manual says to lay out the ribs and hold the top and bottom spars in place, then apply thin CA- The spar closest to the plans is held up off the board. I was thinking that this would be hard to accomplish using wood glue. I am thinking could I set all the ribs, apply glue, then move the spar up into place? I may be getting ahead of myself here-- I'm just excited to get started...

Yes, you can do what you said. Set the ribs in place, apply the glue, and then place the spar in place. IMHO, working with wood glue is easier than using CA. The reason I say that is because with wood glue you have time to double check the placement of your part before the glue sets. With CA, if you part is out of position when you apply the glue it's over, the part is going to be out of place. A lot of instruction manuals these days ARE written assuming you are going to use CA. If you read the steps beforehand and do proper planning it's pretty easy to figure out how to do it assembly with wood glue. And if you have any questions you can always ask here on RCU. IMHO you'll get a better build with wood glue.
Hope this helps
