Default RE: Newbie with a Typhoon 2

OK so I just got and assembled my Typhoon 2 and I am more than a little disgusted. This thing looks like a piece of s***. The wings are dirty, the sticker applications are horrible (there's even a hair under one of the wing applications), and the covering job looks like crap.

Worse yet one of the attaching pins for one of the ailerons was missing entirely and I had to use replacement parts provided to attach it. Also the vertical stabilizer isn't even close to being straight, I'm not sure why anyone thought it was a good idea to mold it into the fuselage.

Is this the kind of quality I'm supposed to expect with this stuff? After dropping 160 dollars on something I don't expect it to look like it came from a god damn garage sale. It might fly great (though with a bent vertical stabilizer I'm concerned about that as well) but I don't really want to take it out before I decide if I should send it back or what. I'm half expecting the ESC to explode if I turn it on anyway.

Do they all look this bad or do I just have horrible luck? :/
