Glue
Is there any foam that has to be sheeted?
You can use many different types of wood glues and or CA glue for basic construction. I use 30 min epoxy for all CRITICAL JOINTS (firewall, landing gear blocks etc.)
If you are sheeting foam, I wouldn't use anything but PRO BOND or GORILLA POLYURETHANE.

I have an entire arsenal of glue. It depends on the application. Here are some examples.
Zap
Plastic Zap
RC 56
24 H (yes Hour) epoxy
30 Min epoxy
5 min epoxy
Rubber cement
Wood glue (alphetic Resin - yellow and white)
I'm sure there's more. But my favorite is the 24 Hour stuff. It gets hard like no one's business and strong like heck. Originally I started using it for sheeting wings, but there are tons of good applications on the airframe. Downfalls are it's thin and not as light as Zap.
Good luck
