Default I tried my best but...

Well I tried as best I could to hold the side straight while gluing, but they still look crooked.

These are lite-ply, (laser cut) and they both were warped in the same direction so it was tough to pin them down with absolutely no curve.

The bend is not as pronounced as it was before gluing, but it is still noticeable. Maybe a little less than 3/16" mostly form the last former back to the tip of tail.

Will this fly? Will it only need a little opposite rudder trim and forget about it, or is there something else I can do to lessen the problem before I finish out the assembly?

Thanks,

Fever

P.S. If I could figure out how to create a digital photo of the proper file size, I would attach a pic...
