I also like 110lb card stock -- from Staples or Office Depot. Laminated for major bulkheads. To stabilize wings ( for the folks who insist on picking the plane up by grabbing the wing) I fold a V , cut to taper and glue in at line of maximum camber. It prevents those odd dents in the wing. Strathmore artist Bristol Vellum also works well, 90 - 100lb.
Glue --- any good PVA allowed to thicken a bit or Tackey Glue if in a hurry.
