Jun 02, 2007     Forward baggage floor - (.7 hour)       Category: Fuselage
Positioned, drilled and clecoed the F-870B baggage floor support angle onto the left fuselage skin.

Today I received the smoke system from Smoking Airplanes, Inc. I put the reservoir/pump assembly into the rear baggage compartment and tried to get an initial feel for where it will fit best. The further aft I can get it, the better. (In the RV-8, the Center of Gravity tends to be forward, so I'm being fairly aggressive about moving it aft. Even though the main aircraft battery (an Odyssey PC-680) will be located forward, on the firewall, the 12-pound smoke system aft of the rear seat will more than counter that.)
