Default Some building questions

Alright, I am trying to finish up this pylon racer of mine. I'm having a few problems though, and need some help.

First off, how should i join the wings? They are balsa sheeted foam core, and i need to figure out how to join them, and have a good joint? Is there a speacial way to sand them, or what? I know how to join them, but just not how to get the joint.

Secondly, I need to put the bottom piece of the fuse on, all of wish are light ply. Would wood glue work for these, or epoxy, or should i go get some CA? Also, should the wing hold down screw block be epoxied, or just use wood glue or CA?

And lastly. This is a midtail plane, and when i first cut the slot for the horizontal stab, to go into the vertical stab, i cut it slightly large, but only by about a quarter of an inch. Should i just put triangle stock there, or what?

Oh, and one more thing, I had to put a very blunt piece length of wood on the front of the wing, and it said sand to shape, but i am going to be sanding alot off for this to be of shape. Does this sound right?
