Don't worry about if it's not damaged. My I-Max is is crooked too and when the wind blows it's all over the place. It does not interfere with my fun.

I used a level and set the bottom section of my imax to perfectly plumb...the top section always leans noticeably even in no wind...my antron99 was the same way, it's normal

I had the same problem. I replaced the lock washers between the sections with a larger size. The ones supplied were very small. Hope this helps. Jim |

Or you could do what I did to my I-Max. I left off the lock washer and put a drop of red loc-tite on the threads. I also put heat shrink on all the joints with some sealant under the heat shrink to keep water out and thus preventing corrosion. Again, Don't worry about the crooked top.
