Hello all,
Please I´m buildind a Funtana X 100 and I found a warp on the leading edge and traling edge of the stab, the stab is covered and is open frame. Please help me to correct this warp with heat iron or heat gun? Does anyone have some tips for this? I apreciate any coments.
Thanks
Gaiotto

A photo would help A bunch.
To remove A warp with A heat gun you sometimes need help, an extra set of hands come in handy.
The part with A warp is twisted just past being straight and you will notice the sag in the covering on the bottom/side, with the heat gun you tighten this up and hold the part until the covering is cooled.
Sometimes it takes A couple of tries, sometimes the warp comes back on A hot day and the plane is out in the sun. You just do it again.
All you are doing is drawing the wrped part straight by shrinking the covering.
