Jan 16, 2023 Rear Fuselage Baggage floor Category: Fuselage
I have been working on the baggage floor which wasn't terribly difficult but i did have to drill some rivets holding the bottom floor C channels to the aft compartment skin. As it was half one way or half the other rivet holes were not lining up. By drilling the bottom C channel all of the holes lined up with the exception of 4 holes where the C channels riveted to the aft compartment skin. It was to tight in there for me to use the tools I had so I am now the new owner of a 90 degree drill which has already come in very hand in multiple other areas as well.

Before I permanently installed the baggage floor I installed some sound deadening foam per the plans.

I also riveted the rudder cable guides in place and installed the rudder centering springs into place. I didnt realize I needed to install some larger rivnuts for those springs and I didnt have access to install the rivnuts with my normal tool but I had some screws, washers, and nuts and was able to get the rivnuts installed it was just a pain in the but.
