Ok I know there have been a few posts on how to eliminate or fix a warp in a wing...but this one is a little different ( I think)

I sheeted a wing with balsa ( for strength ) and it have caused the leading edge to bow....so looking from the front it is bowed from top to bottom.... how can I get this one out????

The trailing edge is still straight....it is just the front the is bowed..

Any Ideas.....

thanks

When a D-box or C-tube isn't straight, you're fighting a losing battle. It sounds like both wingtips are washed out? I'd suggest cutting your losses and start over, using a good jigging system that will allow sheeting while in the jig...like Tom Morris' Lincoln Log/Millenium system. Finishing the model with a known faulty component is a waste of time and money. Sorry. Steve
