What's the best glue to use for putting a wooden plane back together? I was going to use epoxy.

It really depends on how bad it is, honestly....  IIf it isn't all that bad, I use just plain ole regular super glue.  If you have the time to wait, Elmers wood glue.  I've used epoxy on firewalls and LG plates.  BBut never anywhere else.  Foam core wings get Gorilla Glue, due to the expanding nature of it.

I have to replace both outside wood formers.I have never did this big of a repair before. Looks like prc used some kind of white glue.

 

[Bunky.F.Knuckle]

It is a type of epoxy.  But wood glue would be your best bet.  Tack it with a dab of medium super glue.

If you're replacing broken parts and the repair allows for it, Gorilla Glue does a great job of filling little gaps and cracks.  Depending on the actual repair, you need to clamp the pieces together if possible, or the expanding glue can force things apart.  If you don't have the ability to clamp, then 30 minute epoxy or thick CA or good old wood glue could stick things together pretty dependably

What composite parts are you having to order?

 

[Bunky.F.Knuckle]

Fuse, cowl, hatch and canopy.  Basically, I'm just buying new parts to make the airplane whole again.

Hopefully your replacement parts make it soon. Excited for you to have that girl back up and flying.

I got my White Rose wheels and axles in today... shame to cover them up with wheel pants.  Excuse the messy table!
