Aw, C'mon guys! We haven't even seen a picture of the aircraft to see if it's as bad as that. Some years ago I saw a light aircraft that had been handled poorly in a shipping crate and the reconstruction of that aircraft made it one of the strongest and best built trainers at a flying school in Taree. I wouldn't have thought it possible until I saw the finished result. Some skin, fuselage stringers and new rivets here and there as well as some testing for cracks,whether it be dye or x-ray, or whatever they have come up since, the end result will quite possibly be a superior one to the point of OEM.

You can't make a good omelete without cracking an egg once in a while.
