I am finishing building my first kit, second plane and have used mainly CA. I do not mind the smell of it and have never gotten any reactions from it, but I feel that it has really sped up the build time of the plane. I used wood glue and epoxy for some of the stuff, but I am so excited about getting this bird into the air, I do not think I could wait for wood glue to dry if I used it on everything.

That being said, I try not to use the CA kicker very much because it allows the CA time to soak into the wood and make a really strong bond. I have been using thin CA to hold the peices in place, and then medium to really hold them together.
