This bend looks way too tight for me, for 1/8" music wire upon which a 5-

landing, scuffing the hell out of one wing tip or another, and possibly
making me cut into the (hopefully really nicely finished) top of the wing
to push the remains out.

I can anticipate at least 500 flights on the thing, much of it off of
grass.

What do y'all think? Bend new ones, or use what's in the kit?

I agree, the bend looks too tight for having been bent cold. And I doubt if they heated it , bent it , and then re heat treated it.
