Wow! Didn't know anybody had kitted the Magic after MK. In any case Mine is the all wood version, light as a feather! I'll be glassing it over with TinLin's 3/4 oz cloth and Zap resin. I don't think the weight gain will be significant. As for the White glue, I too have "been there, done that, got the Danged Tee Shirt!"
White glue is NO fun when it comes to sheeting out a ribbed wing or planking a fuse! I always found that it was best to let the glue get REAL tacky before trying to wrestle the skin into place amidst all the Tee pins, tape, and home cast lead weights! An Ace bandage and ammonia always helped with the Fuse work too...Ah the Good Old days! Lets' not even get started on Ambroid, Tissue and Butyrate & Nitrate Dope!!!! I lost many a good brain cell to that stuff!
