[rebel-builders] Rebel aft floor channels

Post by Wayne G. O'Shea » Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:35 am

Floor skin has always come up short Jesse. I did the channels before I
noticed on my first one and indeed added a scrap piece of material to finish
off a full floor. Not really usable for anything other than a narrow ELT so
I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I just noticed that the exploded drawing of the fuselage shows the side
channels extending back to bulkhead E, and the manual has picture showing
the floor channels going to E as well. I only have mine back to D because
that's as far as the floor goes. should I extend the channels? I haven't
riveted anything yet, but it's all drilled to #30.
Thanks
Jesse

Thanks Wayne,
Should I put in the side and floor channels between D and E, even if I'm not
putting floor there? This comes at a good time, because I'm now thinking
about that area of the fuselage more with regard to the discussion about
handles. It seems like at least the side channels would stiffen the area a
bit.

Probably wouldn't hurt if you are going to have the lift handles in that
section...as I think that is exactly where they go...Midway between D & E
...or is it between E and the back bulkhead Fus-36? (the one the stabs bolt
on to/fin rivets to.)
