Thanks for that everyone.
Yes I am a beginner, well I would class myself as one. I used to fly a bit.. a friends plane though, not my own.
I would like for this Plane to fly, so I am going to try everything possible to get it to do so!

Is this necessary? I don't really want to remove the landing gear from the wings if I don't have to.
The wings are in great condition. the plane overall seems structurally sound, I applied a firm pressure to all the area's with cracks and it all seemed strong enough, but is strong enough to fly? I am not sure.
Just for looks I would like to fix up these cracks anyway.. what is the best way to repair over the cracks and achieve that glossy plastic look that they have used from factory?

Also......

Forgive me for not knowing, but what does Doped the wood mean? do u mean dipped? and if so, in what?

All the help I can get would be fantastic!

Thanks everyone!
