Warp Removel?

Balsa shims
 

I've had this problem too-- only the builder was me-- not the manufacturer. :confused:

You can go into the formers at the rear of the plane and cut balsa cross-braces to shim it back straight.

What you will wind up with is an "X" brace.

Cut and sand the angles on one brace. Glue it in place with CA. Now cut and sand the next brace the same size. Sometimes you have to make it a little longer than the first brace.

You can wedge the brace in and "tweak" the fuselage back straight. Clamp the two braces when you get it straight and glue it while clamped.

It's a pain in the rear- but it works. And when your done--you have a place to glue any pushrods that might run past the braces.

Hope this helps.

SEND IT BACK!!!
 

The CG 330 is an ARF and therefore ought to come out of the box in pretty good shape. If you are really concerned about the warp, send that thing back to the seller. I just put together an Ex-treme 330 about three weeks ago and was very pleased with the construction; everything was straight as an arrow. If you are not happy with it, call CG directly if the seller won't give you a replacement.

Good luck and the thing flies like a banshee!
