I had tried one of those 3D flat foamies some time back but didn't really like them. Too flimsy and too easy to break[&o], so I thought I would get a built up balsa and ply equivalent. Some time back I bought a UltraRC Edge 540 which I proceeded to assemble. Once I had glued the rudder etc, there was a note about the fuse could possible be twisted due to the "climate changes". Of course by the time you read this very last additional step, you've glued all kinds of control rod tabs along the fuse making it impossible to lay flat and try to correct the twist as the manual suggested. I wrote to UltraRC and they agreed to send a replacement since the original fuse literally looked like a twisted banana. 2 months later, yesterday, I got the replacement fuse and it's unfortunately not much better. Now, the manual doesn't give any directions on what the best way is to go about removing the twist and hence my post. In the picture you can see that there's about 1/4 in twist in the back when the front is weighted down. How do I use an iron or a heat gun to remove this? What's the procedure?

Any help on this is appreciated. If I were to mount the stab and the wing on the fuse as is, they would not be parallel at all.

Thanks,
