I sympathize. Boy, do I sympathize. I am working on my first "modern" kit. I used to be quite good at white glue, lots of balsa stringers, dope and tissue. CA happens a lot quicker than aliphatic resin (aka "white glue"). I resorted back to Aleene's craft glue for the emphennage, but resigned myself to doing the wing with CA if it killed me. And so far it's still a possibility.

The Dave Brown applicators are a big help - I'm having a problem with tip clogs. (NEVER squeeze a CA bottle if it seems to have stopped flowing mid-run. I got a tiny fountain that went straight up at my face). I became quite good at dripping with the D.B. applicator in my right hand and then squirting with the accelerator in my left. Except for the sensation of having my eyes burned out with a soldering gun, it went quite well. I am working on a fully symmetrical wing (Contender) and tacked a few ribs lightly to the wing spar and trailing edge strip, lined everything up square with pins as needed, and then went right across the wing, hitting every joint in turn. It went incredibly fast once I started. There could be a future for this nasty CA stuff. I'll be sheeting the wing tonight. Yeeha!
