Well, I spoke with an understanding gentleman at Wattage and he agreed to send me a new wing or fuselage. I opted for the fuselage, because that seems to be the part that is twisted (the worst anyway). I'm going to try to be a little more forceful with it tonight and see if I can get close with shims. And then I'm going to see how I can do with the wing edge warp and a little heat.
Thanks for all the help. Stay tuned!
PS. If you have any other ideas, please keep them coming.
I can't believe that there are no modelers in your part of New Jersey. That area used to be ( well in the 50's anyway) a hotbed of model airplane enthusiasts. Could be that they are all either dead, or have like me, moved to Florida. Do you have a local Hobby Shop? I'll bet that there are some of us, "Old Timers" that can help get you on the right track. (No Troll intended here so don't even start) I don't think that you will find the level of expertise that you need from those of us who have only done ARF's. You need the help of someone who understands Aircraft structures. Find an old guy (yeah like me) who is retired, or semi-retired, and let him get his teeth (if he still has any) into this. I feel that this may be your best out. At least since as you have said that you don't want to trash the entire project, you could build a new friendship, and learn a completely new facet of this hobby.
