OK, I have a break from work for a few hours so lets get started. I'll take pics but I have largely covered every square inch of my typical plane build more than once so if you see something, don't be afraid to ask!
I will start first with the way I have assembled my last two builds. My new best friend is this Titebond CA in medium and thick. It is absolutely amazing with plywood construction and makes incredibly strong joints when dusted with micro-balloons. If you are a builder and use micro DONT buy it from the hobby store. Get it from a fiberglass supply house where you can get a HUGE container for just a bit more than the hobby store bottle.
My process is to test fit, clamp, wick in glue, let it soak in, put another bead, microballoons and let dry. For some non-critical joints a light spray of kicker is OK just don't hose it on.
All birch parts are sanded and test fit since they are a few thousandths thicker than the lite ply.
