Sorry, piggybacking on Frank's thread here. I finally got around to building an Akromaster kit I bought about 35 years ago. After all those years, and all that time in changing temp/humidity, my trailing edge stock was very warped. My local hobby shop didn't have the correct t.e. stock, and I didn't have any in my on hand supply. So, I tried wetting the t.e. and clamping it while it dried. Most of the warp came out, but a little is left. It's little enough that I can get the rest out with a little creative application of heat with the covering iron when I cover it with Monokote. I didn't cut down the l.e. or t.e. so I could get the extra 4" of wingspan. But, trying to glue on the fixed flaps to the t.e. with the slight warp would be a pain. I figured I'd leave them off and use scrap balsa stick to fill out the t.e. to soften the blunt edge. I still come out ahead on square inches, but I was wondering what affect this would have on the c.g. position? Worth bothering about?
