Strip straightening

Pete · 2004-12-18T11:59:04+00:00

I bought a balsa stripper recently and it works quite well. The strips,however, have minds of their own. I cut it from the most true balsa plankbut as soon as it departs the strip start to deform. I have even tried 1/4'and it has the same symptoms.Any opinions/ advice would be appreciated.TIA

Yes, just put a fishing weight on one end and find out how much the sheet deflects while holding the other end horizontally against the hobby-shop counter. I have a ruler to measure the bend. It drives some hobby-shop owners bonkers. :)
