Sending it back to where you got it from, and getting your money back would be the best thing IMO. I have a couple Vmars and warping is just something that comes Standard with these Planes. I really hate to sound like an ***hole, but I sincerly believe that sending it back, and shopping somewhere else will save you alot less grief now and later. There are alot of negetive post regarding Vmar on RCU for a reason. I know there are some people who have never had one that gripe about them, but I do own a couple, and I can honestly say that I would never ever buy another!

Now if you are deadset in keeping it then I would suggest you strip the covering. Mix a solution of water and alchohol in a spray bottle. Weight the wing down on a flat surface. If the wing has dihedrel you will need to block the wingtips up to the proper degree fo dehidrel. Once your wing is weighted you can then give it a good spraying with the spray bottle while the weight is on it. Let it set overnight and dry out. Do the same with the other warped surface. If only a very small amount of warp is left, you may be able to get it out when recovering I have done this technoque before and it has worked well, but someone else may have a better solution.

The best thing to do IMO is to get your money back though.....................

I would not repair it, the plane is not of merchantable quality ... send it back and get your money! The LHS needs to learn to check his stock better!!!

WM makes a 46 size Cap 232 for around $100.00. I am still working on mine but mostly everything looks top quality. The landing gear is flimsy and the main wheels are small but the rest looks good. [8D]

What I learnt is this ... buying cheap is a lousy option, I am not saying this because I am loaded with cash, I am not but its just that in the medium term a cheap plane will cost you money. For me a plane like the H9, Aeroworks, Pacific Aero Models etc cost a little more but the planes are much better value for money.
