Default RE: Styrofoam wing, removing a bow condition

I have already done that. I purchased the airplane kit on ebay knowing the wings were already built. The wing was a mess and unusable. I knew this going into the deal. I had pre-arranged to buy a new set of wing cores from Iron Bay. They arrived UPS crushed... I called Iron Bay and they agreed to replace them, but told me that these next cores are not as good as the last ones and that they had no more right wing cores and only one left remaining in stock. Iron Bay does not yet produce these cores as these were left over from the Byron purchase. I really doubt Iron Bay will ever produce this airplane.

That is the long version. The short version is that I need to find a way to unbend this white foam core wing. I do thank you though, for sound advise. The Iron Bay guys have been very cooperative and friendly. The sad part is that the first set of wings were really nice and the problem with them getting damaged was a packaging mistake and not UPS's fault really. The wings were touching the box cordwise at the root inside the box. Any deflection what-so-ever of the box was going the smash the wing at the root cord. And it did... I no longer have this damaged set of wings.
