Hey guys,

I'm fairly new to the RC Airplane hobby... Haven't flown or built in about 15 years. I'm in the middle of building a CG Electra Electric Glider Kit... The balsa they shipped to be used as a elevator is a bit warped. What is the best way to reshape and make this flat? Or is my best bet just going to a LHS and buying new elevator stock? Would putting the elevator in warm water then using clamps on my building board to straighten it work? Would doing this cause shrinkage or anything?

Also, one of my wings seems to be just slightly heavier then the other... When sitting on the dihedral point the wing always droops to the right. I know that I have the dihedral and polyhedral angles correct. I was thinking about drilling a small hole in the wing tip and then epoxying in a little bit of lead and filling the hole with filler. Before I do that is the lateral balance of a glider wing important? If so what is the best way to check the lateral balance of a wing?

I know... both noobish questions, but search didn't turn up anything.

Thanks for the info in advance!
