Does anyone have any insight on the best way to flatten warped pieces? My wing spar is slightly warped...want to get it flat before beginning to build the wing. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Best cure for warped ply is to soak it in warm water for a while and then press it between two hard flat surfaces. Something like ceramic tiles or thick plate glass should do. Apply some weight to hold it flat, then leave it until completely dry.

Hope this helps.
