[rebel-builders] Fw: bagage compartment part of the airframe

[bransom]

If memory serves (and it doesn't always), I think Wayne suggested that the L
shaped clips used to fasten floor channels to each other or bulkheads, are
not necessary in the aft section. Leaving them out could save quite a bit of
time. Check the archives for this if interested.

Hi Marc,

Even though the manual says you can leave it out, I would not do that.

The

piece that comes with the kit is .020 and probably adds little more than a
few ounces, maybe a pound when you consider the rivets. For that weight

you

get some major stiffening/strengthening of that tail cone area. Plus, when
you have to get back there for something-and you will, you run the risk of
bending bulkheads or something else. My two cents. Craig

I'd like to leave the bagage compartment out of the tailcone because of
the
weight saving. According the manual it seems it no problem but has

anyone

experience with it?
Any recommendations are appreciated.

Kind regards,
