The right wing aileron is warped. WTF! How did this happen? No idea! The left
aileron came out perfect. Now we have to fabricate a new aileron.

Can you remove the spar and re-use the fiberglass structure? Seems to me
the spar caused the problem but what wood of aircraft quality would warp
that much? Did you keep your Lowes receipt? 😮
Reforming fiberglass structure can be done by heating and clamping in
position. Spiderweb cracks in layups can be repaired by heating the
resin until the damage disappears and then allowed to cool. I repaired
a crushed spot in a wingtip for a friend with that method.
