RE: Curare Build
Oh, yes I see what you mean. This kit is set up to do that somewhat, as the wings of the original kit are to be planked with 2 mm balsa. The Eureka kit uses 1/16 inch sheet.
I avoid using epoxy unless necessary (for glassing or fuel proofing). However, I also avoid CA. I have a mild allergic reaction to CA that produces hives on my arms if I use it for prolonged periods. I'm worried that someday this may get much worse.
I'm using a product called Weldbond on most joints. It is applied by painting a thin layer on each surface and letting it air-dry for a few minutes. The parts stick together but are still positionable for a few more minutes. Pinning or clamping is preferred, but I've had good luck just sticking the parts together as well. When using it for a doubler, you have to clamp the parts together firmly (as can be seen in one of the photos above, the one with the car battery on the table). The Weldbond takes an hour to set, but I'm always able to find some other task to do during that time.
For skinning the wings and stab, I'm using Southern's Sourghum. I hope this is OK to use on a wing that will get fiberglassed and painted. I planned to research that before committing. I suppose I could save weight by doing a film covering on the wings and stab.
