I'm also an RC builder/flyer/crasher/rebuilder...  CA and epoxy are my airplane choices for sticking things together.  For wooden GR buildings I use Titebond III and an air powered staple gun.  Titebond III is waterproof and is reasonably priced.  For my roofing I use GE's clear silicon cauking for outdoor use.  Be sure to use a good exterior paint or waterproof sealing stain to protect your work from UV and mother nature's wrath.
