The last time I put a "kit" version of a plane together I used 5 min epoxy. I had to replace the fuselage of a Sky Surfer after a bad "landing"! Anyway that was an awful experience as I was really rushed to beat the glue from drying before I could get it together. At the end I had a couple of gaps that I hid under extreme tape.
When I built my two scratch builts, an F16 and a flying wing I used hot glue and in a couple of places incorporated CF glue and even some hobby spray glue. Both of these worked out very well.
Anyway I have just purchased a Bixler 2 in kit form as I wanted to upgrade all the electronics so I couldn't see the purpose of buying a ARF just to have to pull it apart and end up with a heap of spare parts. Anyway once I am ready to put the two halves together what is the best glue to use? Will hot glue do the job or should I get something like 30min epoxy?
Really keen to hear your thoughts! Thnx in advance!
