How do I move the nurbs mesh to fix this problem?

Howdy all,

I'm trying to create what I would think would be a fairly straght forward loft between two sections. The sections are parallel to each other, but one is slightly larger then the other to account for the taper on a flight control. There is a dip or fold in the top surface that you can see here:


I'm pretty sure this is caused by the nurbs mesh which you can see here:


I've tried a few methods of changing the end constraints in the loft, but without success. Is there a way I can get these nurbs lines that form the mesh to straighten out like I expect them to?

Thanks for everyones help.

I fiddled around with guide curves, but didn't get it to work. I'll read up on it and try again.

Thanks,

Found what I was looking for. While looking at the help file on guide curves I came across add connector, which did exactly what I wanted. I'll still go back and check out guide curves.
