Reverse dihedral in foam wing
Hi. I recently bought a foam cutter and have been trying to cut some foam wings. I keep having this problem where the wing turns out having a reverse dihedral type bow in it. Anyone else have this problem, and if so how do you fix it? Thanks

Not uncommon. One of the big reasons you need to save the shucks. Make a sandwich of the cores, sheeting and shucks. As the glue dries for the sheeting put a flat board on top of the sandwich and weight it down fairly heavily - it'll come out straight and you'll have no problem.
