Wing Warps
need some advice. Building a Morane Type n and after some weeks of the wing sitting around finished it has decided to warp the rigft wing. Could someone suggest an easy fix. I have heard that Amonia sprayed on the wood and the wing weighted down may help. any advice would be appreciated. The plane will be covered in Solartex.
Thanks

Wing Warps
I agree with FLYBOY unless it's a local kink in the wood that's causing it. In that case either the ammonia (never tried that method myself) or some steam from a kettle can be used to soften the wood and straighten it back out.
If it's fairly scale then the wing is probably quite flexible anyway. Just be sure the wood is straight when hung vertically and then rely on the covering to pull out the warps.
