I'm close to finishing my Pixel but have a slight warp in one wing. Any suggestions for removing a warp in sheet balsa?

Thanks,

Use a tea kettle to make a bit of steam, the spout will allow you to direct the flow so that you don't warp something else in the process. Gently steam the area a bit, remove from the steam, then lightly twist in the opposite direction and hold until it cools. This is a multi step process that needs to be done gradually in increments. Watch the fingers!
