i need help i got my new kit today and just couldnt wait to build it so i could fly. i opened the box and had a good look inside it looked so overwleming. anyway im not a big beliver in reading instructions so i bought a good used engine off ebay i think i got a good deal it had only one lady owner that was 97 years old and had only been used in 14 kits all of them had been crashed. i also got a good radio thing from a garage sale for $2 it wasnt perfect but i could only listen to am radio stations but it was a bargin. and i thought it would work in my new plane. i didnt know how much glue i would need so i bought a gallon. i have seen many posts on here telling people to check everything is there in the box and read the instructions over and over again. well as i said i dont read instructions and from what i could tell all the sticks were there in the box. i poured the glue in the box with all them sticks, threw the engine in, and put the radio in. put the top back on the box and gave it a real good shake. i let it dry for 24 hours so all that good glue i bought would cure. now this is where i need help. my end product looks nothing like it does on the box should i send it back and try to get a refund of my money or should i sell it on ebay.

If you would have read the instructions fully, you would have seen that the box needs to be filled with glue 1st, then toss the rest in and use the 'cocktail shaker' technique for the mixing.
