Since I tend to spend over a year building any plane I care about, speed is NOT an issue! Also, I don't consider myself a great builder by any measure, so having ample "oops" time is definitely "a good thing" for me. The one time I used 2 hour epoxy was the last. Took 2 days to harden to the point where I could trim off excess epoxy and fabric :( -- Andrew E. Mileski Ottawa, Canada RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
