Default Warped wings, please help!

Hello everyone, well im kinda new or "renewed" to the rc airplane hobby. I use to fly a little bit as a kid and for some reason within the past year the i was bit by the bug. Anyway, i decided i wanted to build a kit this winter to keep me busy on my spare time. My girlfriend bought me a Senior Telemaster from Hobby Lobby. Everything as come together great but the trailing edge of my wings. I built the wings on a board and even noticed that both of my trailing edge pieces were warped downward at each end. I just pinned it down like usual thinking that the rest of the wing would straighten it out when all of the glue dried, well i was wrong. The wole wing is staight execpt for my trailing edges, and now that im at the point where i need to sand the wing to accomidate my ailerons and im finding that its not possible. Is there anyway to get rid of this warp? Should i cut the trailing edge off and try to reglue it? or can i fix it by covering the top of the wing first and pulling the warp out with the covering. Please Help! Thanks, Jared
