Type of glue for ARF???
 
I am going to start building a Thunder Tiger Trainer 40 and this is my first build of any kind. Reading thru the manual they list that I should have 4 different kinds of glue them
being 5 minute epoxy-30 minute epoxy-thin instant adhesive and medium instant adhesive. I am wondering if I really need all 4 or if just 1 or 2 of them will do. I am not trying to
cut corners so if I need them I will get them. If I do need all 4 what brands should I look for at the LHS. Does anyone out there use any Gorilla glue?
Thanks for any tips and info.

EZ, There are a lot of diff types and brands of CA (crazy glue) out there and each builder has his own pref. I like the Balsa USA Gold and use Zap a lot as well. I mostly use a thin for most of it and another bottle of the thick that will give you time to place and adj before it fires. One must is a 30 Min. two part epoxy for like your wing halves and stabs. I don't use any of the 5 min. stuff because I believe it don't have time to soak in before it cures. Good luck on this and let us know how it went.
