Hi All,  Have just received my part 5 replacements  The packing box was millimeter perfect (almost) The main wing spar was not broken, but has a slight curve over it`s length,  due to the fact that the part was bent very slightly too fit. Can this curve be forced out when building the wing, if clamped to hold the main spar straight?  Please advise if you have a possible answer  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi Del, Yes you can build the curve out of the main spar what you will find is that when you build the whole wing with all the spars and ribs you would be very unlucky if there was a slight difference as the wings are so strong when put together,this is the reason why I build my wings in one go so they set straight.
