    Allan, I did see some twist in the first picture, but that is massive!

    Did you try the hot/warm water straighten then coldwater method? I have never tried it, but they say it is workable on resin.

    Spiros, not so apparent in side view. --------
    Erik, never had much luck with straightening, easier to get a replacement !

    Allan - that is a good call. It is so warped it is beyond belief.

    Nice progress on the @kalamazoo shop floor! (I simply have to get going on those noseweights - not an issue on 109's though)
