Wing Twist Problem
 

I am assembling my first kit a Goldberg Tiger 2 and everything was going fine with the wing assembly untill now. everything was aligned perfect , i was using the provided supports to build the wing, the 2 halves were joined without incident. Actually i was just about done with the wing and had it off the table to do some sanding -when i set it back down tonight on the supports i built it on- the right trailing edge corner is about a half inch off the supports and the rest of the wing sits level. what can i do? the wing has been perfect for two days and now its twisted, what causes this, and is my wing beyond hope?

If you have glued it together correctly then best fix is --- Get abottle of ammonia & cut some with 50% water , to cut down smell . , ok soak some on the wing /airframe,use paper towel is best , then pack the wing up solid with packing . clamps etc . When you clamp it , GO PAST the point where you want it square , as it will come back still with the twist you mention if you don't , so leave it weighted down overnite & take clamps off in morning . If ok , & it is a flimsy wing , cover carefully after it is true as soon as possible . Good luck

Hurri back - forgot to mention , of course wing will be on a flat bench top to weight down &clamp !!!

I recently found my Sig Fazer wing was warped, leading edge was ok but trailing edge was off 3/8" at one end. This was before I covered it. Soaked it good and weighted it down in place to dry. Now it is perfectly straight. So it is worth giving a a try.

i am trying alot of weight overnight and wiping down the wing with a wet sponge every couple of hours
