Been here.
Taipan superwing.
Sure, you have to release the diammands.
But DO NOT have a point for bend that is too small.
I tried three times to bend strait with the mast between two posts.
THe mast is very stiff..to actually bend. I got tired and did not put the padding in where the post was just below the bend and the mast caved as point of contact was too small. It is now strait but has a dent in it. ; (
So I went and got a second hand A class carbon one.

The mast will straiten. The spar maker told me to put the mast between two supports. Then tie a yoke around the bend point to sprend load and pull the mast down toward the floor using a reduction unit and turn block. Then release and look and then take it down a little more. release and check until the bend moves.

Take your time. Be patient.

Bend aluminium too often and it will get brittle and break.


Anyone know how to get a dent out of a superwing?? : )
