Default Butterfly

I built a nice set or streight wings for my Butterfly. After covering the wing they are no longer straight. What to do?

You use the covering to remove the warps, since that's what put them in. TYwist the wing a little past where it needs to go and heat the covering to shrink it taut. Allow it to cool. Release the wing. See where it's at. Repeat as necessary to get the wing straight.

What you found is common for a very large number of models.
