RE: glue drying time
When I use that type of glue, I just wait the 24 hours. I try to find another section to work on in the mean time. Or, just take a break and let my eyes rest by re-reading the build directions for the next few steps. You'll really like that plane, it's one of my favorites to fly. Very predictable, can be fast / quick handling if you start tweaking the controls. It does fly just "plane" nice, once you get used to the size, it will quickly become a favorite. Try to keep your color scheme simple, and as much contrast as you can to distinguish top from bottom.
Good Luck!
