> Are the posts then glued directly to the motor stick ?

Yes. My LPP posts are glued to the side of the solid motorstick, my F1D posts are glued in holes drilled in the motorstick tube.

>How do you get a decent glue joint of the tissue tubes to the wing spars (I assume they have to be ahead and behind the spars to allow incidence adjustments) ?

I've found that it is important to put a little "triangulation" piece connecting the bottom of the tissue tube to the spar (so there are three points of contact: tissue tube to wing spar, tissue tube to trangulation piece, triangulation piece to wing spar).

Without it, the tube flexes and the glue joint is weak.
