Wing warp thread
Ihave had many gliders and not only were the wings warped but as in the case of 2 part wings the wing pin holes had to be sligtly elongated and shimmed.
You check it with a bubble level with shims taped to the bottom of the level with wing upside down.
I fixed my moldie I had with heat. Iused 2 heating pads and some weghts so I didnt have to sit there twisting.
2 molded gliders so far both had wing pin holes that needed help also.
I didnt really know that moldies could be fixed readily.or that they any could get a warp....
Test flew the ships today and they both fly much better, faster, and higher....

RE: Wing warp thread
Radians dont use wing pins for alignment thats why you cant understand. A Radian or anything with a motor is not a real glider anyways..
