I picked up my Yak yesterday, and was able to start on it today.
I noticed the wing spar pieces were a little bowed, so as I put the spar together, I tried to compensate to get it straight. Well, no luck.
There is continuous bow down the spar, with about a 1/2" difference from one end to the other.
I think I will be able to straighten it when I glue it into the wings.
Sound o.k. or should I start over with new balsa to get it straight.
Or is the bow nothing to worry about?

Thanks, Jordan

If you have a slight crown in the spar the wings will keep it straight, a side to side bow is not a issue.
