Question for repairs......
I have a UM plane that has a challenge to repair. Its a biplane (UMX Beast) and the upper wing is held to the fuse by a piece of moulded plastic and glue. That plastic is fairly thin, and there should be 2 straight parts that come out between the parts moulded for the fuse and the wing on each side. On one side, one of these pieces has bent, and needs straightening and possible reinforcing. I suspect I can use something like a hot glue gun tip to soften the plastic enough to make it pliable for reshaping, but suggestions welcome for better ways to shape/any ways to reinforce.
