Default Worldstar 40, Warped Stab

Hey all,

I bought a Worldstar 40 ARF off a friend of mine. Just finished the build and discovered the stab is warped from opposite corners, front to back. For instance, when I place the stab on a flat surface and press the front/right corner down, the left rear raises off the table about a quarter inche. The same happens when I press the rear/left corner down. I've tried heating up the skin with my heat gun then my iron to no avail. I just can't get the darn thing to budge. Should I contact the dealer and see if i can get a new stab? Should I stip off the factory skin and reskin it myself? Should I put the stab back on and pray?


TIA

Sig

I would first contact the seller for a replacement and if that fails get a heat gun and warm it up while twisting past the direction it needs to go a bit, let it cool while holding it and do it again if it needs it.
