I always use Odorless CA glue. It's light and it dry's quick with kicker. I only use hot glue to hold the speedcontrol wires and servo wires in place.

Yeah, if you want it light...use foam safe CA and accelerator

I hotglue the servos, and ESC and reciever in place. Just a drop will do it. Be careful not to melt the foam.
