RE: Tack gluing?
Tack glueing is glueing pieces with a miniscule amount of glue(Cynoacralate glue)...just enough to hold the piece where you want it. After the piece is examined and it is decided that it is correct, the piece can be glued permanently with a different glue such as epoxy or alphatic resin, or even more cynoaclralte.
I hope this helps.

RE: Tack gluing?
Thanks! But now I have another problem! I accidently put the aluminum landing gear support in the wrong space! I epoxied it with 5 min and then realized it after it was done! Is there any way to undo or un bound epoxy? Any way to sepperate it from wood? If I cant seperate it I will have to buy a now engine box!

RE: Tack gluing?
Can you cut/saw out the support that you glued in? I'm not sure how your kit is setup but you could also drill many lightening holes in it and leave it. Then cut a new support plate out of whatever thickness ply/aluminum the kit calls for. Been there, done that![X(] I call it extra reinforcement.
