Main Cabin Floor
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:21 pm
Today I hope to finish installing all the support angles between the
bulkheads and the floor channels in the main cabin area. Installing the
floor (Fus- 47) is next. With all the feet and baggage activity in this area
I am concern about it only being .020 thick. I could reduce the spans by
adding more channels but that's a lot of extra work and don't think that
would make it any more dent resistant. Increasing the thickness to .032
would help but add an extra 2-1/2 Lbs. Maybe I am trying to solve a problem
that does not exist? Would appreciate hearing what some of you guys may have
done?
