Default Mini Ultra Stick - rudder

Hey there guys. I'm finally finishing up my E-flite Mini Ultra Stick (really, can anyone get these arf's together as fast as they say???) and I just happened to notice that the rudder is twisted. The top of it sticks out past the vert. stab about 1/4" when the bottom is directly in line with it. Any suggestions on the best way to get this thing lined up?

Thanks in advance.

You could try heating the covering with an iron and pulling the covering to straighten the wood.

Bevo,
Your suggestion did the trick. I heated up the opposite side with my wife's blow dryer (couldn't find my heat gun in the den, need to clean that place) and it pulled itself back in alignment. Now, I just need a nice day with not so much freaking wind and I'll be back in the air (been grounded for about 1 1/2 years now)
