I have one of these planes that's never been assembled and a couple of years ago, I decided to strip it and recover with a fabric covering like you're doing. All four wing panels were badly warped and I tried every way I could think of to get the warps out but never succeeded in doing so. One of these days, I plan to build all new wings for it and finish it. I even thought about selling it in the bones but didn't want to unload such a mess on a fellow modeler. Anyway, I'm following your project with great interest. Good luck on getting the warps out.
