More MiniStick Tuning

I tested 2 new MiniSticks (both overweight, with the best one at 0.490g)
last night at our monthly Racine flying session. They both flew quite
well right "off the board" but both need the circle radius reduced. It
is Allan Cohen's MiniSlick which has a 1 piece motorstick/tailboom. I
angled the rudder as much as I could with the taper of the tailboom. I
think of 2 ways to make the circle smaller, one is to crack the tailboom
slightly and the other is to try to warp it to raise the left side of the
stab a bit. Any recommendations - any better ideas ??? If cracking is
the way, is there any controlled way to do this rather than just leaning
on it with my "ham hands" ?

Thanks,
