Default RE: Small kit plane

If you're going to take your time building it, you might just use carpenter's glue instead of Epoxy and CA. You'll need CA for the hinges, but carpenter's glue will give you a lighter weight build overall. This is important on smaller planes. You can do the airframe with carpenter's glue and then simply buy a small bottle of thin super glue (CA) at Wal-Mart for a buck or two when you're ready to do the CA hinges.

I have an Ace Whizard 1/2A trainer kit and an Ace ME-109 1/2 Kit slated for winter projects:

I'm planning on building them with Thunder Tiger GP-07 engines.

These kits are available for $38.99 each or $85.99 with the TT GP-07 engine online at:
