WEDJ,
Thanks for your input. My kit has always been properly stored and inside the house. It has never had any outside exposure. There does not appear to be any little critter damage. I want to build this plane as light as possible and CA is what I had intended to use where possible. Using something like Elmer's glue or epoxy in my opinion makes the plane heavier as compared to using CA. If I elect to re-cut, it sure looks like allot of work. Still, I do not want to put this kit together, fly it and then just see it mysteriously come apart in the air because of the condition of the wood. I will have to give the matter some thought before beginning construction. Thanks to everyone for your input and I would appreciate any additional suggestions or recommendations from any of you.
