Default Warped ARF Stab- How to fix it?

Hi All-
Finally getting around to assembling a 4 Star 60 ARF purchased back in March. Working a few mods 'glass cowling, enlarged rudder, CF pushrods, Venture 60 landing gear with pants, etc. So you can imagine my disappointment upon seeing the warped stab when I started to glue the hinges. Trailing edge of stab is bowed nearly 3/16". The Plastruct piece in pic is 3/16" stock. It's a built-up flat stab, sheeted with about 1/16" balsa. Is there any hope of straightening this out? Or do I have to build another stab? Thanks for any suggestions....Jeff
