To save weight and make building time quicker, we suggest using foam-friendly C/A  instead of epoxy to assemble the airplane.
If you use C/A, you 

MUST USE FOAM-FRIENDLY C/A AND FOAM-FRIENDLY C/A "KICKER."

  If you use C/A and C/A "Kicker"

that is not foam-friendly, the C/A will melt the foam and ruin the airplane.

If you're installing the recommended KMS 2410-9 brushless motor, you will need to make a motor mounting plate out of a piece
of 1/8" plywood.  A template and mounting instructions are included on page # 15.
