Topic: "bent fuz"

I have athunder Tiger E-hawk, the fuz of which appears to have been eating too many bananas. (may have been like this since new, as it's always been a Carp flyer and pulled right!)

I'm getting rid of the V tail and putting a conventional one on.

Is there any way to straighten the fuz? It's glass, but not sure if its epoxy or polyester

OR:

do I accept the bend on the fuz and offset the fin to one side to get it on the centreline and equidistant to the wing tips.

how bent is it???

scratch and sniff   if it smells its polyester if not its epoxy

        goony

Don't know what the tail mount area is like but if you can somehow arrange matters so that the tail and wing line up on each other as they should the fact that the tail will then me offset on thus won't matter. Probably easier than trying to straighten the fus itself.

I have managed to get a twist out of a FG fuz - IIRC it was epoxy - by heating with heat gun and twisting just past straight and holding till it cooled, it took a few attempts but it worked.
