Default RE: Wing Tubes

If you can find an insert(tube) of either aluminum or carbon tube that fits inside, that will increase the AMOI of the existing tube(unless there is a seem then forget it). But you got to get this one straightened or buy a new one. Aluminum will yield and fails pretty quickly outright after you reach the ultimate yield strength. I dont think you got there yet, but it yielded in the extreme fiber for sure.
