All I can say is, "WOW"!!!! I've known a few tenacious souls in my life. You sir must have written the book on tenacity. To do something of this caliber and of this magnitude is far beyond most others comprehension. Looking forward to each and every picture.

 still at it with the ribs , cutting reinforcements mini spar locations

Are you using CA for your ribs? Also what are your thoughts on using yellow wood glue.  I am fixing to start a AMR kit and was thinking about using yellow on most everything.

at this point I'm using CA but just to make sure everything is good, once I am satisfied, I will reinforce the ribs with tiny wood corner blocks

 

As for carpenters glue, its excellent, it simply takes time to cure, also if you would need to glue for instance a sheet on top a sheet  the glue being evaporative in nature,  would take a long time to cure same with sheeting a foam wing, but with sticks , plywood and such, where the glued surface is not too big, it would be just fine,

What about strength between the two glues?  I apologize if I'm messing ur thread up.

Don't worry, your not messing anything

As for the glue, if you are building a regular kit out of balsa ,  you can use CA on everything, just be sure all parts have good fit.

Lately I  being using thick CA from Gorila glue, , not the poly urathane but CA.  it is extremely good and strong
