Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2008 4:52 am Post subject: Oil Canning of the Bottom Wing Skin

There has been discussion in the past about oil canning of the bottom wing skin. I do not know if this will be true for all kits but I just installed the right skin and it needed trimming at the main spar edge. It was necessary to remove between 1/32 and 1/16 to get the skin to lay flat. If I had not trimmed it the skin would have butted up against the forward skin and this would have created lots of oil canning. With the skin trimmed and largely using Vans instruction the skin is tight, a small ding here and there but tight. Bruising should heal in a week or so.

Indeed this is exactly what I found when doing mine and I re did the bottom lf wing skin after doing the right wing second and having it turn out quite a bit better. The redo on the left (This was the third time doing a bottom skin) turned out great. The holes in the skin were actually out of line with the spare holes C the skin holes were closer to the skin seam then they should have been. I used an ice pick to gently pull things into alignment

the slight gap is necessary as the riveting prrocess  reduces the gap.No gap imples buckling and oil canning.
