Default RE: DJ-1 Wing Building Question

I found it difficult to see if the leading edge was pinned down properly while flat on the board - so I removed it, pinned the sheeting then put it back on the board with weights...

...Now I know that was a bad idea!!

I guess I'm looking for guidance...

[ul][*] Is there anything I can do to straighten it out?[*] Is it usable as it is?[*] Should I just throw it away and get another kit?
[/ul]

If the thing is unlikely to fly it would be a waste of time putting in the work to finish it. Oh well, a lesson learned - possibly an expensive one. I'm not going to give up on this - Now I've started I really like building almost as much as flying. Just wish I hadn't made such a stupid (avoidable!!) mistake.

Many Thanks,
