Yeah, I've had the kit since 2005 and just started building it recently. I've been using good ole titebond throughout so far. I'm no stranger to kits, but this one is the most demanding I've done in that pretty much everything so far has required some finagling to get a decent fit or even close to fitting--guss I'm spoiled by laser cut stuff. I'm aware of the original design's roots, but I had no idea it would be such a PITA to take it from a box of sticks to an airplane. My Telemaster was essentially the same type of construction, but went together much more agreeably. Makes me worry that I did something wrong, but I've spent a few hours comparing the plans, the manual and the actual parts, and can't find the miss, if there is one. I bought this kit based on recommendations that it was the most accurate outline and the best flyer in this size range, so I have high hopes once it's done. Mine is going to be powered by an AXI 2826 on a 3S2P lipo setup to keep it clean. Scale looks and prototypical performance are what I'm after. Thanks for the input.
