Chuck, a lot of model planes were built before CA came on the scene. Aliphatic Resin is an excellent adhesive. No, the technique is not the same as CA, but you will develop a workable technique for your own building style. I have seen a very thin, wickable version of AR glue that resembles a CA bottle, but I have no personal experience with it. Aliphatic Resin is a water soluble glue. The water evaporates, leaving a light weight, very strong bond. I built the SIG 1/5 Cub mainly with AR (and some CA) and the Dynaflite Deacathlon with nearly all AR and some epoxy. And the cost is much less for AR over CA.
Go for it, you will like it.
