Ilove the miter-cut. Works very well, even though Iusually fine tune it by sanding, I really want to get the miter master, if it works as well as the miter cut, it should be very accurate. Good stuff!

You do not ‘need’ power tools to cut the sticks in your kit. Any of the razor saw and miter box sets mentioned in this thread will do the job.

A company called Fourmost has some really slick miter tools

Tower and other distributors also sell them

I started the wings tonight, I've just been using Titebond and clamping everything.. I have plenty of time so I'm not in a big hurry
Good choice of glue. I don't have the time to wait so I tend to use more CA. The other night I had the CA run and drip though, it's all over the fuse now and you can't just sand it off!! You tend to sand the wood down all around the glue and my wood is already sanded so thin I can see light through it!

I had another member tell me that he would use Epoxy on the spar doublers... I'm sure it is all just a personal choice thing..

Bill, I just posted in that other thread. Wood glue is what I use most, after all it is wood. Epoxy does have it's place where thing's need to be more reinforced like firewalls and landing gear block's. And your absolutely correct about personal choice.

Yeah, I didn't mean for both threads to get on the glue subject, but oh well. Thanks for your opinion, being new I just would like to pick the right materials from other people's experiences with them.. Call me stingy, but I'd rather not use my 1st kit as a guinea pig.. Ha
