Make sure both wings have the same amount.
Yes true.
But in this case any snap has almost certainly been caused by too much elevator movement.
I doubt if he needs to alter the wing shape just because of that. Apart from anything, it will make other characteristics change.
No, the Venus wing is perfectly OK as it is. There is no way he will want to do such a drastic thing as heating and bending the wing.
I much prefer the suggestion that he practices with, maybe, a simulator.
