The jet ranger is an easy build but you must take your time and think things thru... As far as glue I like to use shoo glue on the lexan and petg plastics, it wouks really well. The front piece gets glued together, I use small earth magnets from radio shack to hold the nose piece on for easy removal to access the batteries... The middle section I glue just the top seams together and leave the bottom open for removal of the body. I use scotch tape to hold the bottom together when I install it on the mechanics.. Same with the tail boom glue just the top half and tape the bottom when you install it...
Mounting The body.... This is something you will have to work out for your heli. They usually need some wooden blocks between the mechanics and the body to get the boom to the right height and the head high enough to clear the dog house... I then sandwich the body between the landing gear and those wood blocks....
