I tried an overnight bend. Wet with ammonia water, then clamp against the rail with a 1/8th spacer on the nose and a clamp on the tail and nothing between.

It worked. I’m putting the edge balsa on now.


Glad to hear you got it straightened out . . . Hope the glider flies well .

Merry Christmas !
