Default RE: Warped wings, please help!

It worked! Well after looking at the wings for literally and hour, i figured i could set it on a really stable flat surface (my kitchen floor) and put weight on it to straighten it out. The plans only called for sheer webs from ribs 1-8 and i noticed that most of the warp was from there on, so i simply bought some more 3/32 balsa sheet and added sheer webs the entire length of the wing. I also added balsa supports between the ribs on the trailing edge of the wing. I let the epoxy dry and presto, the wing was straight as and arrow and twice as strong, it worked! Thanks for all of the input guys, Jared
