The directions say to use CA with Kicker, and that Epoxy will not work... what did you guys use? CA just does not seem like a strong bond considering that stress of high speed flight. Anyone have any issues using CA or what did you use?
I have to choose from:
CA (Thick) w/ Kicker
CA (Medium) w/ Kicker
Gorilla Glue (Would expand too much I would think)
Sumo Glue
5 Minute Epoxy

I was also skeptical at first, but it works fine with Elapor foam. I used medium CA with the kicker prep as prescribed in the instructions. I've built three Multiplex airplanes this way and no problems.

If you are sure and fast at working, itse thin CA ... if not medium is best, more forgiving but the FJ is so easy to build. The material is CA safe for sure.

The CA is fine, but be sure to get Foam Safe Kicker and Foam Safe CA. Don't ask me how I know. I did use epoxy on a few high stress areas in a small amounts.

Thanks Guys. I used Thick CA (All that was in stock) and Kicker. Finishing the electronics up (I really wish that I had known about the length of the servo wires, I would have picked up more wire while I was at the LHS, now I need to go back).
