Yep. I found that out when I bought a Hobbico NexStar. My instructor crashed the plane and when I rebuilt it I found that 90% of it was glued using hot glue. I was bummed and will not likely buy another Hobbico plane. My personal suggestion is to use epoxy through out for your repairs. I know this is heavier than CA but it'll also stand up to more abuse. The O.S. 40 engine that this particular plane comes with will easily pull the ship around with ample power. Good luck!
