I wouldn't worry about the extra epoxy that has leaked out. Remember, like the other guy said, if your expecting this plane to be all neat and nice (perfectly put together), that's ok, but the moment you make a mistake and ding something, you'll be very disappointed aftyer all the work you put in it. Same your precisness for a nice kit/scale plane build. Don't get me wrong, you want things to be "almost perfect" so the plane flys good, but it's a trainer, subject to abuse (and it will get it). For the price, let this plane "train" you and then move on to something better. Good Luck. (I bought a Nexstar RTF to train on, and it took a load of abuse. Had to recover the firewall area due to fuel pealing the covering, peal off some of the falling off decals, tighten the covering every once in a while, and CA some area that came loose, plus a few more things).
