The baggage compartment floor is a piece of 0.050" aluminium sheet cut to size and stiffened with two lengths of "J" angle (left over from the lengths used as stiffeners in the Vans RV9A fuselage). These were cut to length, match drilled, dimpled and riveted to the sheet using 20 flush 3/32" rivets each. The sheet was then inserted into the angles which support it and 16 holes match drilled. Tomorrow the holes will be drilled to final size and nutplates riveted onto the angles to screw the baggage compartment floor into place but allow it to be easily removed for maintenance and inspection.
