Roger,
Please, there is no need for embarrassment! I am the Editor for the Quickie Builders Association and I'm still intimidated by the guys who've been flying for 20 years! LOL!
I don't think that will really go away until you've finished your Q and get to go out flying in it!
I decided to use Aeropoxy, but again my project isn't flying yet. Hopefully some of the other builders will chime in here with some answers. That way you can have a few more data points.
You might also consider joining the Q-List on Yahoo Groups. That seems to be the most active community for getting your questions answered.

I'm trying to get people to post more here though. Hopefully this year I can get the two forums linked together. We'll see.
Also, feel free to post WANTED ads in the classified ads. They're free.
Hope this helps, please let me know.
Warm regards,
Dan Yager

PS: I've found that you shouldn't spend too much time worrying about where to begin. Just jump right in and do SOMETHING on the project.
It ALL needs to get done, so find something you KNOW how to do and just do it. Then once you have some momentum going you can tackle something you might think is a little trickier.
Remember we're here to support you if you have questions or need answers.
