I built a tiny trainer and the horizontal stabilizer is slightly curling. The first few flights were flown in grass with as bit of dew and the bottom of the stab got wet. I think this is the reason. Aerodynamically, it isn't a problem and I don't really care if it's curved or not. The problem is that it affects the throw of the elevator. The servo has to "pop" the stab flat to pull the control surface up.
Is there a fix that can keep the stab flat? I'm resorting to holding to the tail with books on the very outside edge of the stabs and putting a weight on the tail to stretch it back, but it only works for a short while.
