Nope, not a misprint because they have CA glue listed with a different simbol right under the P.A glue. The also call Epoxy A.B. glue

If it's a foam model... the Chinese refer to PA glue as the clear to yellowly, sticky, tube stuff they often supply with foam models in a tube. It's light, but longer drying times make it somewhat more difficult to work with. (GWS supplies it with almost model they sell)
It kinda looks and applies like the plastic model cement but is not, as it's foam safe.
I usually use epoxy sparingly in the areas they designate PU glue for... (usually fuse assembly, wing joining, etc)
If this ISN'T a foam model... then what is the application is is calling for? what two components are being glued?
Then we can help you select what glue will best serve...

It is a balsa model. The manual shows CA uses on most of the hinges but then the P.A is shown applied to the hinge area ( not very clear in the picture ) of the rudder and elevator. It could be the connector wire of the stabalizer halves and the tail wheel where it connects to the rudder. Looking again it looks like they want it on the tail hinges but on the wings they use C.A.
I guess I'm not going to worry about the manual and use C.A on the hinges and epoxy on the elevator connector wire and tail wheel to rudder.
