Default Here we go with another newbie

Ok I am new to the building and flying but not the site. I have read and replied to a few things in here. Now I need help I am building a Powerline Eagle Trainer with a 40 Super Tiger and using a Futaba 6EX-PCM. I have been reading everything and now up to the point of starting to build the plane. The plane is already covered.

Soooooooo this leads up to my 1st question:

The covering has bubbles in it. If i were to use a heat gun on it would it take out the bubbles? I have never covered or even seen anyone cover a plane so i am unfamiliar with this.

2nd question:

I am totally overwhelmed right now with looking at the parts and the book. The book is a picture only and VERY minimal words just a FYI. Now... on the wings the ailerons have a bar on them for supporting th aileron and then there are 3 slots that require you to put these white tabs (hinges) in both the wing and the aileron. it is saying to CA them and talks about making sure they are secure or an accident will come out. Well no duh.. lol. my question is why wouldn't you want to use the 30 minute epoxy on them... I am guessing you put the glue on the tabs and insert and they are going to stick to something or are you putting the tabs in and then CAing them on the out to the wing... do that make sense?

thanks for the help. I will post pics if you would like. I am going to take pics one for me to look back on later and 2 in case i need help. thanks again
