Finished baggage floors
My back was a bit sore from leaning into the baggage compartment from yesterday, so I did something else. I prepped the aft top skin for riveting. Julie’s Christmas gift was delivered, so I figured I might get some riveting help. 
I placed rivets in the open holes of the top aft skin and taped them down. I also messed around with making some clips for the static tubing. The plans have you use some .025 x 5/8 x 1-3/4″ material. One of my Philips screwdrivers has a 1/4″ shaft, so I bent the tabs around that and used a block of wood and a vise to complete the bend. It took about 3 tries before I got the process figured out.
I then decided that I might as well get the baggage floor done. The second floor panel went much quicker. I also put some UHMW tape under the ELT mount where it looks like it might rub the bottom skin.
I installed the thumb screws from McMaster and they work great. It will take a while before they are turnable by hand, but a coin also fits in the slot. This will make the ELT accessible in the unlikely event of an off-airport landing.
