Order the "Super Strut Tool" from Central Hobbies, which would allow you to bend the struts back without stressing the retract mount area of the wing. Central Hobbies no longer list this item on their website, but they still sell it if you phone in and ask.
Thanks for the tip. I've heard this tool mentioned before, but have never seen one. Guess I'll have to buy one....
Titanium struts can't be bend like your ordinary music wire. I tried bending a titanium strut once, and it snapped since Titanium is fairly brittle.
So the struts can only be used as supplied; straight? It would seem there must be SOME way to bend them if necessary. Heat?
Good flying,
