OK, here is how you fix the tail boom problem, depending on how sever it is.
Using a heat gun you heat the area and pull hte boom up to its proper position, then let it cool there. Now it might not be quite up all the way, but if it seem it will hold that position, you loosen the back screw that holds the tail down and you tighten the front one. This will rais the back of the tail and get it more in allignment. It will take a little while to trim it out, but I think it should work.
As for design flaws. You gotta be kidding. To bend the fuselage like that you had to hit pretty hard. Planes are made to fly, not crash. If this were a balsa plane you would have had a pile of splinters a long time ago.
Give the fix a try. Nothing to lose.
