    Bent Tracking Fin

    One of my tracking fins on my 93 SN is a little bit awry. Am I safe to try and bend it back some how? Any suggestions on how I should be doing this safely without compromising anything else?

    Thanks!

    Remove it and put it in a vise, a little heat and you can tap it back to shape if it's not too bad to begin with. Otherwise bring it to a prop shop and they'll fix it right up if your not comfortable doing it yourself.

      No heat

      Use no heat.

      Only specialists may use heat due to long time experience.

      There is only a smal window where the heat bending can be succesfull.

      As its crashed cold it also can be bend back cold.
