Mark,
Several years ago my wife built an A6, she didn't like the way that condenser paper looked ( yucky in her words) so she covered it with purple Saran wrap. We went to a local gym to do some testing. It was the middle of August and the temperature inside the gym was in the high 90's. After about 1/2 hour I noticed that her model "looked funny" and was not flying as well as it had at the beginning. The Saran wrap was shrinking and her wing now had twice as much dihedral as it had started with. We stayed about another hour and her model got more and more dihedral as the time went on. By the end of the session, her wing tips were pointed straight up just like end plates.
That was the first and last time we ever used Saran wrap on a model.
