RE: what to use instead of CA
If you are assembling an ARF there's not much variety available, you're going to have to use CA. But if you build kits you have plenty of choices. I use Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Glue for my kit builds. Take a look at my LT-40 build thread to see how I use this glue. [link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_3439708/tm.htm[/link] . I also use epoxy where it's needed. The only time I will use CA in building a kit is to harden threads that have been cut into wood, such as wing mounts.
