 Posted: Sun Nov 09, 2008 5:40 pm Post subject: QB Wing Angst- Oil Cannnig |
 |
|
Hi
After carefully researching how to rivet the bottom skins on my QB wings, I have run into the dreaded oil canning on one of the wings.
I did dress the forward skin edge as many have recommended and I also found that there was no oil canning problem when the skins were clecoed. However, after riveting one skin using a rivet pattern found on the list, I found that I have a significant oil canning issue developed in one of the “squares” on one wing. The other wing is fine – I came up with a different rivet pattern which yielded much better results.
So now I have this problem, is there any acceptable way to deal with it. Then “square” in question deforms inward and stay there unless popped out. I was thinking of riveting a small stiffner through the center of the “square” but am unsure if this is acceptable.
Any comments, suggestions, guidance gratefully appreciated.
Inquiring minds need to know

Les,
I went through the same thing. I ended up using proseal to attach a 6" piece of aluminum angle to the inside of the square that was oilcanning.
Can't speak for final result as the plane hasn't flown yet but ground test (me pushing on panel) showed any canning was completely gone.
