Title: Floorboard nutplates and gear towers
This evening, I flipped the fuselage over on its left side and drilled the mounting holes for the left gear tower access cover. I then cut the remaining access hole. Then, I drilled all the remaining #8 mounting holes for the floorboards, removed everything, and drilled 98% of the holes for the platenuts (there are 106 of them, so I drilled 318 holes!). Drilled for one-lug platenuts in several locations. I'm not exactly sure how I'll mount the platenuts along the intersection the rear floorboards and the rear baggage compartment floor. Finally, I removed the three main pieces of the baggage compartment. I'm not sure if I'll be installing the floor again, or if I'll be modifying it and the underlying structure to fit the smoke system pump and reservoir. We'll see.
