3M SUPER ADHESIVE IS FINE (stupid caps lock), light spray from about 6-10 inches, let dry 3 mins or so, both sides.
Here's the rub...you only have ONE TIME to align it up as once it sticks, it's stuck, period.
Don't EVEN think about pulling it back apart to re-align it...ain't gonna happen...take your time.
Some folks use wax paper as a cheat/aid between sprayed layers to line them up perfectly...then sneak the waxed paper out s-l-o-w-l-y..it's not hard at all...just DO NOT hurry this step.

I have used both spray adhesives with perfect results, be sure to get a mist and not snot rockets....canopy glue works perfect, dries over night tho....remember one thin layer glue on eaCH SIDE, let tack first.
I'm making this sound harder than it is...sorry 'bout that.

I think I need to try a different prop..the vertical was ok but not really unlimited..Maybe Im used to flying 13oz foamies! ..I was thinking maybe a APC 10x4.7 or 11x3.8 I also have the SuperExtra and was thinking about the Hacker 20-22 but this tourque motor is very impressive.

Hitec HS 55's
Electron 6
Tourque 22/930
APC 11x4.7
Thunderbird 18
Common Sense 1250 3s Lipos 10c

Agreed

Glad your foamy came out light makes me want to build another the proper way so mine will be as light.

o and the a20-22 will be balistic with a 1320 and a 10-4.7 2.5 to 1 power and the 11-3.8 i think would kick ass to.:22a:

The 3M 77 works perfectly for laminating...I know the 20-22 is basically the same as the 22/930 but it seems like I cant find anyone that carries spare shafts in 3mm..this may make my decision for me about buying another 22/930 or the Hacker.

So far I like the 1250 packs from Common Sense Rc..they dont get hot and seem to be built very well

Glad u liked urs pale!! I got batteries to try on mine. I got a 3 cell 790 and a 3 cell 1180 pack from Tanic. These batteries are really light for their size and should be perfect for this plane. I still need to get a motor... for it, and was thinking of the 20 20 because the 20 22 seems real hard to get. I think I'm going to use hs 55's on mine and I got a real good reciever! It's a Berg 4L from Castle Creations and it is so light! They said the reciever could even be used in .90 planes! Well, I'll be trying to come up with some more money for my motor. Maybe I can get all the stuff to make one of these planes complete!
