I am finishing up a wing on this, my first GS build and although I had the aileron pinned down tight on a very flat table I still had some bow in the trailing edge when I unpinned it.. Is there an easy way to correct this before covering ? Thanks to all who respond even if I don't respond to every individual post I do read the all and take them all under advisement.

OK, I will try to take a couple pics tomorrow. My back is killing me from bending over putting on capstrips today or I would do it now.
No the wood on the trailing edge ain't thick enough for that. Take a look at the pics tomorrow.
No that's something I know nothing about. If I did that it looks like I would have to do the flap like that too so they would match. The flap TE turned out OK.

OK I understand now. It's not flat. In the past I used ammonia the short side, weighted the bow just past flat and let it dry, might take a few tries,
I don't know if this is gonna work but this is the best I can do at posting a pic. Here is the mess I have made. In the shot of the aileron you can see the bow in it. As I have stated before I am blind in my left eye and have poor vision in the other and have only 25 to 30% of my vision left and I can't even see good enough to take a decent picture so that you guys can see what I'm talking about. The use of ammonia is interesting. How much? Soak it or a few drops or what?
