I can work through the issues and expect I will have to do so. The wing should be easy enough to correct. The tail though, I haven't decided if I want to try to gently twist it back or just try to get some flying wires to pull it back into shape.

I had an all balsa plane, Hobbico Viper, that after 8 years of sitting the tail had warped this way. I was able to spray the inside of the fuse with water and then support the tail and fuse very well to let it dry. It worked great but took 3 days. With the DP Ultimate being mostly light ply I am not sure this will work.

Your right ARF's are not perfect and they are beautiful to look at in the box. They have some issues here and there, but I will continue to buy them. I will say this is the best looking, best built, best covered and easiest to assemble ARF I have ever had. Course my last ARF was about 10 years ago. they have changed alot. Heck they use real covering now.

I have heard DPM's service is not great as well.

Thanks.
