Kicker can be handy if you are holding something together and want to let go. Just make sure your fingers aren't glued.
Don't I know it. I used the kicker once while I had CA on my fingers and boy does that stuff burn.

I mainly use Titebond wood glue for the main construction. I use medium or thin CA to reinforce formers or to hold sheeting down at the edges or for other areas I want a quick dry. I use thin CA for CA hinges and epoxy for pinned hinges. And I use 30-minute epoxy (NEVER 5-minute) for the landing gear blocks, joining wing halves, attaching tailfeathers, firewalls, fuel-proofing, and other high-stress areas.
