on my Diablo It was listed as severe damage to wing and stabilizer. Both wing tip ends were broke loose. a few drops of ca and they were fixed. The stab took a little bit of thinking. but after staring at it for 5 minutes. i took some straight pins thru it to hold it straight. Then put some medium ca on it and rubbed it in with my finger. yes i used a piece of waxed paper to keep the glue from my fingers. then let it set up for a few minutes. and the stab and elevator were fixed. pulled the pins out after letting it sit overnight.

as far as thrust measurements go. I have no way of making that measurement. But 12 oz. cannot be that far off it's probably close.

In a way it's unfortunate it is marketed as a jet. Because it flies more like a powered glider a little heavier But personally on calm days i do think it could be used as a trainer airplane. In the instructions it says fly with winds 5mph or less. The day i flew it was only a couple mph winds. In stock configuration 10mph winds would not be any fun at all.
