Hello,
I am just about done riveting my outboard lower wing skin on my QB wing an I
have oil canning in the innermost bay. It looks to be about 1/4" movement
with concave being the predominant state. Is this acceptable? If not what
is the remedy? It is the same bay as the access panel so I can get behind
the skin.
TIA - Pete
Pete,
I seem to remember this coming up before so you may wish to check the archives.
I think the solution suggested was to use a length of stiffener prosealed to
the inside of the offending skin to correct its shape. You would need to make
sure you get the prosealed stiffener wedged in place for several days. Clean
with MEK or similar.
Good luck.
Rob
