"SPAD" Simple Plastic Aircraft Design
Gluing corflute is always a problem due to low surface energy of polyethylene.. there are glues available but the price is through the roof as it is an industrial product... not too sure about CA... Tried some experiments once but not real successful... Could have been due to brand of CA or surface preparation. Hot glue comes undone when left in a hot shed... Or in the sun for long periods but I have not found this to be a problem. Contact didn't seem quite as strong as hot glue when it comes down to it... But is a popular choice as it is easier to use... I have just dismantled a corflute plane and found the hot glue to be very strong where it has taken hold. I used sandpaper on the corflute before I used the hot glue gun on this particular plane.. on my next build I will flash the corflute first with the butane torch and wipe it down with Windex and see how that goes using hot glue for the fuselage and contact for the wings.
