Hi again everyone. 

I’ve noticed that the plans call for aerodux resorcinol urea formaldehyde glue in the construction of ribs and even the spar cap laminations. I’ve read of some other builders substituting T-88 for all adhesives in the aircraft, and wanted to get other ULF-1 builders’ take on the question. 

Also, several parts of the build manual call out “thickened” epoxy, but do not state the ratio of thickener to epoxy. The use of cotton flakes which I take to mean flox is also mentioned. Does Dieter intend to refer to what ratio system 3 or West Systems recommend?
