Help..a fix for warped surfaces
 

After cutting out and glassing the elevons for a hotspot I find they have bowed lenghtwise.
Anybody have a good way of taking this bow out?

Thanks

put them under load, against the warp, and warm them up with a heat gun, (carefully!)
Let them cool, still under load.

Hope that helps.

Hi There I just had that problem myself with the gear doors on my 16, a friend told me to heat them up with pressure as stated above and it worked perfect, the only thing I did after it was shaped properly was added a few carbon fiber Strips to make sure they stay that way and this morning whenb I cycled the gear they were perfect, took about 5 minutes on each door.


Hope it works........... Johnny Hernandez
