superflite
I used superflite also. I had to buy more glue. It is something you DO NOT want to short change yourself. Plus a single coat over the enitre plane is recommended before primer. I still have more than half a gallon left over after buying an additional gallon. Did not want to run out.

Troy
Troy told me to do it also. It does several things. One, it allows you to use less primer and it actually covers better. Also it keeps the fine particles of primer from getting to the insides of the aircraft. It is an easier "flow" with the primer also.

Glue
I've used about 6 quarts so far and I still have 2 ailerons and 1 flap plus all tail feathers to do. I suppose it'd help if I didn't knock my glass (yes glass) jar over and break the second one and lose some glue. duh!! I swore I wouldn't do that when I started, but, oh well. Didn't actually lose very much, probably no more then a 1/4 of a cup on the two. Think I'll switch to the tin can thing. Well at least I won't ever need to seal my concrete floor of my garage.

I have a gallon of Superflite glue that came with my kit. I won't be using as I am doing Stewart System. Free - Anyone want it?

Superflite
Just an FYI, I talked to the Superflite Guru about the painting process and he unoffically confirmed that bushing a water thin coat(in one direction and NOT A CROSS COAT) of glue over all the fabric just before you prime works good and the primer and paint will adhere just fine. He's actually used the technique on planes in the past.
