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

Post by Ken » Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:05 pm

You will find archived posts suggesting the floor weight is worth it for
strengthening the fuselage. Personally even if weight was critical, I
think I would consider extending the floor at least as far as including
the bay that has the square to round corner wraps and/or I'd fit a
diamond shaped gusset on all the bulkhead to floor channel joints where
there is no floor.

Thank you Ron for the reply.
Maybe I wasn''t that clear in my mail.
What I ment is to leave the aft parts of the inner floor installation out of
the tailcone.
The building manual gives the recommendation when using the plane for
Canadian Ultralights and aircraft to be powered by Rotax 582''s to leave
these inner floor channels out. I''m thinking to install only up to the
first 2 front bulkheads(A and B) and then using an baggage wall. The ELT and
battery(box) could be installed on separate reinforcements.

I totally agree with you about the bagagewall and bagagecompartment.

Also my compliments towards your helpful internet site, it has helped me
already answering many questions.

Kind regards,
