RE: My first Nitro Plane
Good on you. You'll learn more about flight by building a plane.
A couple years ago I helped an Explorer post build four identical Sig LT-40s. The host site wouldn't let us use CA or epoxy inside their plant. We smuggled them out only twice to epoxy the wing joint, fuelproof the engine & tank area and to CA the hinges, but otherwise they were entirely done with white glue. I only use CA for the hinges and for the wings. Boy, does it speed up making a wing.
Have fun with it.
