Which white glue(s) did that? Aleene's "Tacky" white craft glue (G. Harry Stine used it) grabs quickly, but Elmer's Glue-All flows freely for long enough to install & adjust thrust rings, motor mounts, and sleeve tubes. In cooler climates, many modelers warm white glue by placing the bottle in a saucepan filled with water, as the heated glue flows more freely. This may work for yellow wood glue as well.

According to the links I posted, that is no longer true.

I don't know which "this" you are referring to, but Aleene's "Tacky" white glue that I've bought this year grabs quickly, and the Elmer's Glue-All that I bought this summer (I'm still using that bottle) does flow more freely when warmed.

Interesting, I'll have to experiment with that. I did a test earlier this year (in August, I didn't check the temperature in my workshop but it was probably in the mid sixties or low seventies). Putting a coupler into a piece of BT-60, a thin film of Glue-All grabbed immediately. A heavy application (2 or 3 times as much) stayed mobile for a minute or two. Both thin and thick applications of Elmer's Wood Glue (yellow glue) grabbed immediately. Of course a comprehensive test would involve many trials of several different glue amounts. But this showed that Glue-All (at that temperature) can grab right away, and without a lot more experimentation I'd be uncertain how much I'd have to use to avoid grabbing. Certainly the thick application I used was what I'd consider excessive for good building technique.

I have two broken skywinders and was wondering if you fixed yours.

I would be interested in buying the two broken skywinders off of you If you are interested in selling them. I had one when I was a kid and one blade some off and hit the ground and cows ran over it so I have been looking for one to buy. Thanks for your time

I’m sorry but already bought the nesting tubes to repair them and they are high on my list. I’m really attached to them, one has 37 flights and the one with the D mod has 6. The one with 37 flights has short rotors because of a non eject so the rotor tips are missing(central tube was shortened in first repair). I hope you can find one.
