Default Slow Stick Wing

Have a Slow Stick that has a warped wing. The left trailing outside edge is turned up about 1/2" when lying on a flat surface. This is my second wing and the first one was warped the same way. I have to use alot of right rudder trim to fly straight and that seems to make left turns sluggish. Is there any way to straighten of remove some of the warp. I tried heating the first wing with a heat gun but wasn't successful. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you felt like a little work you can remove the covering and dampen the wood, then recover it and pin it down to keep it flush with a flat surface-

I would think that a heat-gun would do the trick tho-

The Slow Stick wing is foam. I had the same problem and used a heat gun. It dont take alot of heat to melt the foam, if you heat gun has a "Low" setting, use that and dont get it too close to the wing. When I did this I had someone else hold the wing and twist it back into place while I went over it with the heat gun.

I tried that on my first wing (heat on high), turned my head to sneeze and almost burned a hole in the wing. Will try again using the lower setting on the heat gun and hopefully I can get it right.
