Ditto to all Bruce said. I'll just expand a little on CA use.

I love using CA. It's one of those things that some people love, some hate, and some don't care either way.

I probably wouldn't even buy it anymore except for the fact that it is the ONLY glue to use for CA Hinges (Another big innovation since you left - For more info on that [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=55]CLICK HERE[/link]

CA is basically what the layman calls "Crazy Glue". It makes building time next to nothing (You don't have to stop and wait overnight while the glue dries) but you don't get too much of a chance to change things if you make a mistake.
