thanks,
I was also wondering if any sort of CA is better than the other. I'm getting an Ep-42 from sig and they say it needs glue and tools what sorts of things do i need to buy. Also i was thinking of buying the futaba 6exh 6-channel fm with the 4 micro servos. Is futaba a reliable brand (i hear it alot in the magazines) and do you think the S3107 servos will be good. look at the product at:

thzks for your advice i'm really learning a lot
Futaba is a good reliable brand. The 6exh is a heli (helicoptor ) radio, but will work just as well for fixed wing airplanes.
As for CA. There are several different thicknesses, thin, medium, thick, gel and a "slow set" which is supposed to be somewhere between thick and gel and used primarily for sheeting wings and other structure.
For tight fitting balsa to balsa joints I use thin CA. For ply to balsa I use medium and for ply to ply I normally use thick ca or epoxy. For glow powered planes you definitely want to use epoxy WITH triangular backing for the firewall.
