 Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2007 6:50 am Post subject: 801: Joggling the L's in the Rear Fuselage |
 |
|
Hello All...
As I approach the end of building( though at this pace it will still be another 2 years before I fly ) I faced with a multitude of items which I bypassed at the time, but now must be addressed.
During construction of the rear fuselage the L angles must be joggled and riveted to the skins and the extruded longerons. I didn't like the edge distances which came out from single rivets into the longerons. This was primarily the result of poor joggling. I will likely add 2 additional "squares" of L's in the rear fuselage. However, reviewing my building notes from that time I see it was hit or miss as to the quality of the joggle.
What techniques, dies, etc. have you used which assure a quality joggle everytime?
Worst case, I am just going to use an additional strip of aluminum the thickness of the longerons, placing it between the skin and the L. Thus, avoiding the joggle hassle all together.
Any help is appreciated....
Thx...

Scott,
I made my joggling blocks from 1 1/2" x 2" hard yellow pine boards that were a part of the ZAC shipping crates. See attached photos. The offset is ~5/32" or 4mm by ~1". I placed the aluminum angle on the long block, end of angle flush with the end of the block. Align the top block with the joggle and give it a couple of sharp whacks with a mallet. Sometimes, I would clamp the vertical leg of the angle with another wood block to eliminate distortion of that leg. Questions?

Very nifty. Do you have a picture of the finished, joggled parts? My
own experience joggling with such a setup is that the joggle is nice
and crisp near the "break" but, towards the end of the part, the metal
progressively "relaxes" and "unjoggles".

Ihab,
I have attached photos of a 20mm x 20mm x .025 angle scrap that I just joggled.

Thank you! Somehow looks a lot better than my results. I'll try your
jig idea! -- I

joggle bars or joggle blocks work very well for formed sheet angles but to a lesser degree on extruded sections. We were able to use aluminum and steel joggle blocks on extruded sections back at Cessna Experimental though - make sure that the binding edges (that acturally form the departures from straight) are polished to avoid marking the extrusion - especially near the radius.

Just make a form from a oak 4X4 and use a rubber mallet and they will turn out just fine.
