Many builders now add a few extra channels under the floor,
especially in the baggage area. It doesn't add much weight, but
greatly increases strength. Yes - it is a bunch of extra work ! ;-)
You should have lots of ST-31's left over, after replacing the
door frames with ST-28's ..... an early Ontario Mod. ;-)

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?
