 Posted: Sun Apr 08, 2007 11:41 am Post subject: Access panel oil caning |
 |
|
I added the access panel and the stall warning device per the plans. Adding
the access panel has created significant oil caning near the panel on my
wing.
I used a hand nibbler to cut out the initial access hole. I am pretty sure
this is what caused the stretching of that is the culprit of the oil
canning. I have not yet added any doublers to prohibit the oil caning but
plan on it.

Ben,
Is this a Flying RV-10?
I drilled the holes per instructions and then used a portable jigsaw and my panel (and sourrounding skin) is nice and tight.

I drilled the holes per the instructions and then used a mini die
grinder with a cutting wheel. They seem firm and no apparent oil
canning at this stage. I will keep my fingers crossed and hope I have
no oil canning in flight. I think Tim Olson put some stiffeners in
his due to oil canning problems. I don't know if that was prior to
flying his airplane or not.

William,
No not a flying RV-10 yet. Why do you ask?
The leading edge is riveted on to the wing spar and the oil canning is very
apparent. Will it be an issue in flight...? I don't care to take the
chance. I will add stiffeners at some point before attaching the wings.
The oil canning did not exist prior to me adding the access panel. Like I
stated before I am pretty sure it is due to nibbling and filing. That
process is most likely what stretched the aluminum.
