On the 1st releases, the prop blades were bent inwards slightly, but it was very noticable..

Is there a way of correcting the bent angle of these first edition propellers

hworth18 I fixed mine on Ridge Runner 3 sucessfully buddy. All I did was cut the prop blades off and re-positioned them correctly. So it can be done.

I did it as well, but I didn't cut the blades completely off. Carefully I cut them a little more then half way and then pulled them slightly forward until they just began to break. You need to do this gently. When the prop is in the right position I filled the small gap that was created with gap filling super glue like Zap. When dried the prop was as strong as ever and properly aligned as well.
