Default Phoenix Models Sonic 25 broken - what to do?

I got a Phoenix Models Sonic 25 this last week. I put it together and epoxied all areas that I could because the glue job was very poor. On the maiden flight I got it up and flew it but upon landing the entire tail section broke off. It failed just behind the area that I added the epoxy to strengthen it. It wasn't even a hard landing! For a minute I just stood there in disbelief with my mouth hanging open because I couldn't believe what happened. I'm just glad it didn't fail in the air.

I purchased it through Tower Hobbies and was wondering if there was anything I could do about getting a replacement or refund through Tower or Phoenix. There is no way it should have failed like it did. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone has to offer as to what I should do.

Thank you in advance
Kevin
